p53 and VEGF regulate tumor growth of NOS2 expressing cancer cells

摘要

The invention provides, for example, in vitro and in vivo methods for screening modulators of NOS-2 activity using p53 mutant cells, methods of predicting the benefit of administering NOS-2 inhibitors to a cancer patient, and methods of treating cancer by administering NOS-2 inhibitors to patients with p53 mutant cancers.
