Abstract excerpt
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is effective in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and induces apoptosis in APL cells and in a great variety of other cancer cells. We have previously shown that ATO induces apoptosis in myeloma cells in two different modes depending on p53 status in the cells. In cells expressing mutated p53, ATO induced, G2/M arrest and activation caspase 8 and 3 and rapid and extensive...
