Apoptosis induction in renal cell carcinoma by TRAIL and γ-radiation is impaired by deficient caspase-9 cleavage
27 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL APO-2L) is a member of the TNF family and induces apoptosis in cancer cells without affecting most non-neoplastic cells. The present investigation is focused on apoptosis induction by combined exposure to TRAIL and ionising radiation (IR) in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cell lines. Here, we demonstrate that all RCC cell lines coexpress TRAIL and the death-inducing...
