Epidermal growth factor-mediated activation of the unliganded glucocorticoid receptor in A549 cells
… cytokine genes in the lung epithelium fibroblast A549 cell line. Evidence suggests that the EGF-induced repression acts on signalling via the TLR-2 receptor but not via the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway. The EGF response is shown to act via the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) promoter element in a …

The Effects of Tarsh Overexpression on Lung Carcinomas
Lung cancer arises from epithelial cells that line the air passages of the lungs. It is the second most common malignancy in the United States; trends suggest that over 228,000 new patients will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2013. Due to the fact that lung cancer is highly aggressive, it has …
