Discussion
DR CAROLYN E. REED (Charleston, SC): Doctor Jones has presented a series of elegant studies that focus on a tremendously important subject, which is chemoresistance of nonsmall cell lung cancer. He is to be commended for this work. I would like to thank Dr Jones for sending me the manuscript in advance.
I have several questions for you, Dr Jones. If I am correct, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-
B) upregulates a number of apoptosis inhibitors. Can you give us some insight into whether these inhibitors share a common mechanism of upregulation by NF-
B?
Two, how are you going to progress to in vivo experiments?
Three, is there any evidence that different histologic types of nonsmall cell lung cancer have differing levels of NF-
B?
Finally, what substance would you plan to use in vivo to target NF-
B?
I enjoyed your paper and I wish to thank you again for sending me the manuscript in advance and I look forward to further reports from your laboratory.
DR JONES: There
