LKB1/PEA3/ΔNp63 Pathway Regulates PTGS-2 (COX-2) Transcription in Lung Cancer Cells Upon Cigarette Smoke Exposure

This is the first study to show that cigarette smoking induced the LKB1/PEA 3/ΔNp63-dependent transcriptional regulation of inflammatory molecules, such as COX-2/PTGS-2. Using mainstream smoke extract (MSE) and sidestream smoke extract (SSE) as modeling tools for primary and secondhand smoking, we f...
