BCL-2 family protein expression and platinum drug resistance in ovarian carcinoma
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the BCL-2 family proteins, BCL-2, BAX, BCL(XL) and BAK have been determined in a panel of 12 human ovarian carcinoma cell lines encompassing a wide range in sensitivity to cisplatin. Whereas BAX, BCL(XL) and BAK levels did not correlate with sensitivity, there was a statistically significant inverse correlation (r = -0.81; P = 0.002) between growth inhibition by cisplatin and BCL-2 levels. In...
