Screening of the differentially expressed proteins in malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells induced by coal tar pitch extract. (PubMed, Toxicol Res (Camb))
In summary, we established an MT model in vitro and explored the changes in protein molecules. As a result, this study suggested that changes of protein molecules, including COX7A2, COX7C, NDUFB7, MT-CO2, NDUFB4, and RPS29, occurred at the stage of BEAS-2B cell malignancy following CTPE exposure, which provided key information for screening biomarkers for CTPE-related occupational lung cancer.
