Figure 6

(A) Effect of various formulations on the expression of p53wt in mouse fibrosarcoma. Skin/tumor lysates were prepared as described in Materials and Methods and 30–50 µg protein was used for Western blot analysis. A diminutive expression of p53wt was recorded in the animals treated with vehicle controls. Treatment with various formulations was found to replenish the p53wt expression in fibrosarcoma. Lane 1, untreated (Normal); lane 2, vehicle control (PBS); lane 3, sham egg PC liposomes; lane 4, Sham-Tuft-Lip; lane 5, free ETP; lane 6, Lip-ETP; and lane 7, Tuft-Lip-ETP. (B) Effect of various formulations on the expression of mutp53 in mouse fibrosarcoma. Skin/tumor lysates were prepared as described in Materials and Methods and proteins (30–50 µg) were employed for Western blots. The expression of p53mut was induced significantly in the animals treated with vehicle controls; however, treatment with various formulations against fibrosarcoma resulted in a decrease in p53mut expression. Lane 1, untreated (normal); lane 2, vehicle control (PBS); lane 3, sham liposomes; lane 4, Sham-Tuft-Lip; lane 5, free ETP; lane 6, Lip-ETP; and lane 7, Tuft-Lip-ETP.
