Zinc Status Impacts the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and Downstream Protein Expression in A549 Cells

Zinc has been suggested to play a role in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Serum zinc levels of lung cancer patients are for example lower than in healthy individuals. The activation and expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which plays a role in tumor biology, are presumab...
