We demonstrated that the p53 status affected: the pattern of expression of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, Vimentin, witnessing the appearance of EMT-like phenotype of MFR-surviving sublines; 1D confined migratory behavior (wound healing); the capability of an irradiated cell to continue to divide and form a colony of NSCLC cells before and after MFR; influencing the CD44/CD166 expression level in MFR-surviving NSCLC cells after additional single irradiation. Here, CDH1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
