RB1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: In our studies, we have found that MTLN silencing in A549 NSCLC cells slowed proliferation and, in accordance with this, we observed the following: (1) increased proportion of cells in the G1 phase of cell cycle; (2) protein changes consistent with G1 arrest (e.g., reduced levels and/or reduced phosphorylation of ERK, MYC, CDK2, and RB, and elevated p27Kip1); (3) reduction in clonogenic cell survival and; (4) lower steady-state cytosolic and mitochondrial H2O2 levels as indicated by use of the roGFP2-Orp1 redox sensor.
