In order to explore the mechanisms of candidate liver tumor suppressor protein PIG11 induced apoptosis, eleven PIG11 binding proteins were first time identified in human hepatoma HepG2 cells, which heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) is one of them. It has been confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation combined with Western blot analysis. Furthermore, using Western blot analysis, the protein expression of lisp60 is down-regulated in pLXSN-PIGll-HepG2 cells group than that of pLXSN-HepG2 and HepG2 groups (n =3, P 〈 0.01), and over-expression of PIG11 i...
