Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis plays an important role in heat-induced cell death. However, the mechanism of heat-induced apoptosis has not yet been elucidated. In the present study, the signal transduction pathway underlying heat-induced apoptosis was investigated in heat-resistant HeLa cells carrying mutant p53 gene and heat sensitive HeLa cells that had been transduced with an antisense TNF gene. Induction of mutant p53, but not...
