Abstract excerpt
We and others have shown a persistently high induction of Fra-1 transcription factor (a dimeric partner of AP-1) levels by respiratory carcinogens in pulmonary epithelial cells. Fra-1 is frequently overexpressed in various human tumors and cancer cells. We have recently shown that Fra-1 significantly promotes growth, motility, and invasion of human pulmonary epithelial cells, the precise molecular mechanisms by...
