Transcriptionally mediated gene targeting of <i>gas1</i> to glioma cells elicits growth arrest and apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Induction of growth arrest-specific genes (gas1) prevents cell proliferation and/or leads to apoptosis in different cell types. In neurons, it has been recently reported that mild excitotoxic neuronal death is associated with gas1 induction, and that overexpression of Gas1 induces apoptosis in terminally differentiated neurons or in proliferating neuroblastoma cells. In the present study, we have analysed the...
