Abstract excerpt
In this study, the role of V12-Rac1 in the cisplatin-induced apoptosis was investigated. Cisplatin-induced apoptosis is associated with cytochrome c release, which can be inhibited by V12-Rac1 expression. The analysis of mitogen-activated protein kinase activity indicated that V12-Rac1 expression led to a decrease in p38 activity after exposure to cisplatin but not c-jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular...
