Our results showed that MDK-expressing H1299 and A549 cells increased survivin and XIAP levels, anti-apoptotic molecules, and decreased BAD levels, which are pro-apoptotic proteins, consistent with previously published NSCLC data on MDK in the study conducted by Hao et al. [21] (Figure 4E). The gene discussed is MDK; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
