Low content of protein S29 in ribosomes of human lung cancer cell line a549: detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis.

abstract：:Mutations of tumor suppressor protein p53 are present in almost about 50% of all cancers. It has been reported that the p53 mutations cause aggregation and subsequent loss of p53 function, leading to cancer progression. Here in this study we focus on the inhibitory effects of cationic osmolyte molecules acetylcholine ...
