Enhanced Sensitivity of G1 Arrested Human Cancer Cells Suggests a Novel Therapeutic Strategy Using a Combination of Simvastatin and TRAIL
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) preferentially induces apoptosis in tumor cells over normal cells. To study the relationship between cell cycle progression and TRAIL-induced apoptosis, SW480 colon cancer and H460 lung cancer cell lines were examined for their sensitivity to TRAIL after arrest in different cell cycle phases. Cells were synchronized in G0/G1, S, and G2/M phase...
