Expression data from immortalized human lung small airway epithelial cells

In lung cancer progression, p53 mutations are more often observed in invasive tumors than in non-invasive tumors, suggesting that p53 is involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. To understand the nature of p53 function as a tumor suppressor, it is crucial to elucidate the detailed mechanism of the alteration in epithelial cells, the main origin of solid tumors, following p53 inactivation.
