Early induction of apoptosis in androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line by FTY720 requires caspase-3 activation
15 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We previously reported that FTY720, a metabolite from Isaria sinclairii, induced some cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, and that FTY720-induced apoptosis was not related to Fas-antigens. In this study we investigated whether FTY720 was able to induce apoptosis in an androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line, DU145, which is not only resistant to androgen-withdrawal-induced apoptosis but also...
