Restoration of TRAIL‐Induced Apoptosis in a Caspase‐8‐Deficient Neuroblastoma Cell Line by Stable Re‐expression of Caspase‐8
1 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in most tumor cells, a process sometimes potentiated by chemotherapeutic drugs or cycloheximide (CHX). Childhood neuroblastoma (NB) is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous neoplasm whose behavior can be explained by differential regulation of apoptosis. The non-invasive S-type NB cell lines are sensitive to TRAIL,...
