摘要: Previous work has shown that treatment of the lung cell carcinoma line DLKP with differentiation modulating agent bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) causes posttranscriptionally regulated changes in expression growth and related genes. These gene were found to coincide an increase level phosphorylation translation initiation factor eIF-4E. In this study we have overexpressed eIF4E cells determine its role mediating seen BrdU what effects it may on cancer general as studies play a regulating carcinogenesis We also analysed overexpression Ser209 mutated non-phosphorylatable (S209) site translational functional cells. The exact is currently unknown conflicting views emerged whether necessary for regulation by eIF4E. Stable transfections carried out using wild type (4E), S209 mutant (4E-S209) HA (hemagluttinm) epitope-tagged human constructs Stable earned empty pcDNA plasmid vector negative control .Western blot analysis showed transfected HA-tagged eEF4E protein was effectively cloned limiting dilution clones chosen further analysis.
