(A) Schematics to generate a panel of HBEC cells. (B, C) In vitro characterization of HBECs. (B) Immunoblot assays were performed for the expression of K-rasV12, p53, pMEK, total MEK, and beta-actin in HBEC cells. (C) A microscopic view of HBEC cells (magnification, 1x). Note that HBEC-KT stands for HBEC cell lines immortalized by CDK4 plus hTERt; KTRL, KT plus oncogenic K-ras V12; KT53, KT plus p53 knock-down; KTRL53, KTRL plus p53 knock-down.
