Abstract excerpt
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is an antioxidant enzyme with tumor suppressor activity; however, the molecular mechanisms of MnSOD antitumor effects remain unclear. We hypothesized that MnSOD activity in cancer cells might cause downstream changes in the expression of other tumor suppressor genes. To determine whether maspin, a tumor suppressor gene that inhibits breast cancer cell invasion and...
