Tumor Necrosis Factor–Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand and Chemotherapy Cooperate to Induce Apoptosis in Mesothelioma Cell Lines
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can induce apoptosis in certain tumor cells. In addition, TRAIL and chemotherapy can act cooperatively, possibly as a result of chemotherapy-induced increases in expression of a TRAIL receptor, DR5. We used cell lines derived from a highly chemoresistant tumor, malignant mesothelioma, to learn whether TRAIL was effective alone or together with...
