The Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 5A Is Involved in the Regulation of Proliferation and Apoptosis Induced by Interferon- and EGF in Human Cancer Cells
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Interferon-alpha (IFNalpha) can induce apoptosis, a process regulated by a complex network of cell factors. Among these, eukaryotic initiation factor-5A (eIF-5A) is peculiar because its activity is modulated by the post-translational formation of the amino acid hypusine. Here we report the effects of IFNalpha and epidermal growth factor (EGF) on apoptosis and eIF-5A activity in human epidermoid oropharyngeal KB...
