Iron Chelators Treatment on DMS-53 Human Lung Cancer Cell

The molecular role of iron in gene expression remains poorly characterized. Moreover, the alterations in global gene expression after iron chelation remains unclear and are important to assess for understanding the molecular pathology of iron-depletion and the biological effects of iron chelators. We assessed the effect on whole genome gene expression of two iron chelators (desferrioxamine and Dp44mT). These studies are important for understanding the molecular and cellular effects of iron-depletion.
