Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene (NAG-1) was identified as a proapoptotic, antitumorigenic protein in vitro, induced by many antitumorigenic and chemopreventive drugs including cyclooxygenase inhibitors. However, its antitumorigenic activity has not been elucidated in vivo. METHODS: Transgenic mice were generated that ubiquitously overexpress human NAG-1 under the control...
