Synergistic Tumor Suppression by Coexpression of FUS1 and p53 Is Associated with Down-regulation of Murine Double Minute-2 and Activation of the Apoptotic Protease-Activating Factor 1–Dependent Apoptotic Pathway in Human Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

Abstract excerpt

FUS1 is a novel tumor suppressor gene identified in human chromosome 3p21.3 region. Loss of expression and deficiency of posttranslational modification of FUS1 protein have been found in a majority of human lung cancers. Restoration of wild-type FUS1 in 3p21.3-deficient human lung cancer cells exhibited a potent tumor suppression function in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we evaluated the combined effects of...
