Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Topoisomerase IIalpha (Topo IIalpha) is an essential nuclear enzyme for chromosome segregation during mitosis. Previous experimental studies using cell lines reported that Topo IIalpha expression was negatively regulated by wild-type p53 through the gene's promoter region. METHODS: Surgically resected tumor specimens from 98 nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients who were not treated with...
