Identification of Inhibitors of TRAIL-induced Death (ITIDs) in the TRAIL-sensitive Colon Carcinoma Cell Line SW480 Using a Genetic Approach
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in tumor cell lines, whereas normal cells appear to be protected from its cytotoxic effects. Therefore TRAIL holds promise as a potential therapeutic agent against cancer. To elucidate some of the critical factors that contribute to TRAIL resistance, we performed a genetic screen in the human colon carcinoma cell...
