Lunasin sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer cells is linked to suppression of integrin signaling and changes in histone acetylation

This 2014 study investigates the differential sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines to lunasin, a soy-derived peptide with anticancer properties. The research compares lunasin-sensitive H661 cells to resistant H1299 cells, revealing that lunasin internalization is higher in H661 cells. Lunasin interacts with integrins containing αv, α5, β1,
