The edited form induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) via PI3K/Akt-dependent activation compared with the wild-type CYP1A1, which led to an enhanced interaction with CYP1A1, thereby promoting the translocation of abundant HO-1 into the nucleus to resist oxidant stress in NSCLC cells. The gene discussed is HMOX1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
