Abstract:
Krüppel-like factors (KLFs) are transcription factors containing three different C2H2-type zinc finger domains in their carboxy-terminal regions which have been identified to play important roles in a variety of cancers. However, little is known about KLF15 in lung adenocarcinoma (LAUD). Our study demonstrated that the expression levels of KLF15 were observably down-regulated in LAUD tissues compared to paired adjacent normal tissues. LUAD patients with low expression levels of KLF15 have worse prognosis than those with high expression levels of KLF15. KLF15 could suppress cell growth, which was partly via up-regulating CDKN1 A/p21 and CDKN2A/p15. Our findings suggested that KLF15 showed a significant role in LAUD progression and may shed light on a promising novel therapeutic target for blocking progression of LAUD.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
