Role of p21 in Apoptosis and Senescence of Human Colon Cancer Cells Treated with Camptothecin
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
Treatment of cells with the anti-cancer drug camptothecin (CPT) induces topoisomerase I (Top1)-mediated DNA damage, which in turn affects cell proliferation and survival. In this report, we demonstrate that treatment of the wild-type HCT116 (wt HCT116) human colon cancer cell line and the isogenic p53(-/-) HCT116 and p21(-/-) HCT116 cell lines with a high concentration (250 nm) of CPT resulted in apoptosis,...
