## Abstract Certain hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) compounds are well established occupational respiratory tract carcinogens. However, despite extensive studies, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Cr(VI)βinduced lung cancer remain poorly understood. In fact, the models used were often s
We investigated the effects of five different p53 mutants on the growth of primary cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. The five defective viral pZIP-Neo constructs contained the following mutations at mutational hot-spots found in human cancers: codons 143 ala , 175 his , 248
## Abstract Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in conjunction with thioredoxin (Trx) is a ubiquitous intracellular oxidoreductase system with antioxidant and redox regulatory roles. In some human tumors, the thioredoxin system is found overexpressed. We have used an antisense approach to investigate whet
