S110 Dysregulated Iron Metabolism Mediated By Irp2 May Influence Lung Cancer Progression, Particularly In The Context Of Cigarette Smoke Exposure

Abstract: Background Iron is required for cell growth, and various cancers have been shown to proliferate more readily when iron replete. We have shown this previously in lung cancer and further demonstrated that this was reduced by either iron chelation or knockdown of IREB2, an iron regulatory gene. 1 Differences in iron content of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid have been reported in smokers compared to non-smokers, 2 so we hypothesised that iron dysregulation might be an active mechanism of cancer progression in … Show more
