As shown in Table2, cytoplasmic AEG-1 protein expression in the primary tumour was positively correlated to the phosphorylation of NF-κB/p65 at Ser 536 (p = 0.002), p73 (p = 0.033), and Rad50 (p = 0.024) as well as to the apoptotic rate (p = 0.006). The gene discussed is MTDH; the disease is neoplasm.
