Abstract excerpt
The inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin is selectively expressed in tumor cells. The tobacco component nicotine increases the transcription of the survivin gene in non-small cell lung cancer cells. However, the role of survivin expression induced by tobacco component is not clear during lung carcinogenesis. We investigated the effects of the tobacco components nicotine and its related carcinogen...
