Abstract excerpt
Testosterone-repressed prostate message-2 (TRPM-2) expression is highly up-regulated in normal and malignant prostate cells after androgen withdrawal. Although recent studies have suggested a protective role of TRPM-2 expression against apoptosis in several experimental models, the functional role of TRPM-2 in chemotherapy-induced apoptosis remains undefined. Here, we demonstrated that overexpression of TRPM-2 in...
