Whereas spr1 expression was quantifiable and inducible in all five cultured normal cell populations, in all 12 carcinoma cell lines evaluated it was neither quantifiable nor inducible. Primers spanning the entire spr1 coding sequence amplified full-length PCR product from genomic DNA; therefore, large deletions in the coding region were not responsible for the loss of expression measurable by RT-PCR. This is the first molecular genetic marker reported that distinguishes all normal from all carcinoma cell populations evaluated. Because the spr1 protein is a component of the crosslinked envelope that forms during the squamous differentiation process, we hypothesize that the apparent loss of spr1 gene expression disrupts mechanisms for terminal squamous differentiation in the bronchial epithelium, thereby contributing to malignant transformation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1165\/ajrcmb.19.1.3078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,3]],"date-time":"2013-04-03T22:15:05Z","timestamp":1365027305000},"page":"25-29","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Loss of spr1 Expression Measurable by Quantitative RT-PCR in Human Bronchogenic Carcinoma Cell Lines"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey P.","family":"DeMuth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Ohio, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Weaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Ohio, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio"}]},{"given":"Erin L.","family":"Crawford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Ohio, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio"}]},{"given":"Clara M.","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Ohio, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio"}]},{"given":"James C.","family":"Willey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical College of Ohio, Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026030700145566800_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"511","DOI":"10.1016\/0092-8674(76)90033-7","article-title":"Differentiation of the epidermal keratinocyte in cell culture: formation of the cornified cell envelope.","volume":"9","author":"Sun","year":"1976","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2026030700145566800_B2","first-page":"539","article-title":"The respiratory epithelium.
