Abstract excerpt
Staurosporine is a potent apoptosis inducer, but its mechanism remains to be clarified. We investigated the involvement of PTEN in staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Ishikawa cells, from an endometrial carcinoma cell line, expressed a high amount of PTEN mRNA but did not express the PTEN protein because of protein truncations. We isolated clones expressing the steady-state level of the PTEN protein from PTEN-null...
