The role of RASA2 in predicting radioresistance in lung cancer through regulation of p53.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the most common causes of lung cancer relapse after clinical treatment is radioresistance. However, the mechanism underlying radioresistance remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of Ras p21 protein activator (RASA2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

The messenger RNA (mRNA) of RASA2 was tested via reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of cancer tissues from patients with NSCLC. Computed tomography (CT) and bioluminescent imaging (BLI) were used to monitor the tumor growth of patients and orthotopic mice, respectively. Protein-protein interaction was quantified via immunoprecipitation and glutathione S transferase (GST) pulldown assay. Western blotting was used to evaluate the phosphoryl
