Abstract excerpt
The FHIT gene plays important roles in cancer development, including lung cancers, in which the Fhit protein is frequently lost. To determine if Fhit-deficient mice exhibit increased susceptibility to carcinogen-induced lung cancer, mice were treated with the pulmonary carcinogen 4-methylnitrosamino-1-3-pyridyl-1-butanone. Wild-type and Fhit-deficient animals did not exhibit significantly different frequencies of...
