Melanoma Differentiation Associated Gene-7/Interleukin-24 Promotes Tumor Cell-Specific Apoptosis through Both Secretory and Nonsecretory Pathways
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (Mda-7/IL-24), a novel member of the IL-10 family of cytokines, uniquely displays cancer-specific apoptosis-inducing activity. Positive results in ongoing phase I/II clinical trials have strengthened the possibility of its utilization as a cancer gene therapeutic. Previous studies document that signaling events leading to Ad.mda-7-induced transformed cell...
