Alpha1-antitrypsin protects lung cancer cells from staurosporine-induced apoptosis: the role of bacterial lipopolysaccharide

Abstract Elevated levels of plasma alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) correlate with a poor prognosis of various cancers. Herein, we investigated effects of exogenous AAT on non-small lung cancer cell lines with high (H1975) and very low (H661) baseline expression of SERPINA1 gene encoding AAT protein. Compar...
