Downregulation of Betaig-h3 gene is causally linked to tumorigenic phenotype in asbestos treated immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells.

Deals with a study which determined the impact of ectopic expression of Betaig-h3 gene in asbestos-induced tumorigenic human bronchial epithelial cells on tumorigenecity. Method used to ascertain the tumor suppressive effect of Betaig-h3 gene; Tumorigenecity of asbestos-induced tumorigenic cells after Betaig-h3 gene transfection; Role of cytokines in asbestos-induced proliferation.
