Project description:Analysis of TE-1 cells following knockdown of EI24 and control vector. Etoposide induced 2.4 kb transcript (EI24), also known as p53-induced gene 8 (PIG8), is located on human chromosome 11q23. Serving as a p53 responsive pro-apoptotic factor, EI24 plays a pivotal role in inhibiting cell growth and activating autophagy and is associated with drug resistance. Results provide insight into the role of EI24 in cell proliferation and drug resistance of ESCC cells.
Project description:To understand the difference of protein expression between paired esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adjacent normal tissues, we collected 10 paired ESCC and normal tissues from surgical resected specimems for high-throughput proteomic experiments. From comparative analysis, the dysregulated signaling pathways in ESCC could be uncovered.
