Regulation of Bax Activation and Apoptotic Response to Microtubule-damaging Agents by p53 Transcription-dependent and -independent Pathways
20 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Microtubule-damaging agents (MDA) are potent antineoplastic drugs that are widely used in clinical treatment for a variety of cancers. However, the precise mechanisms underlying MDA-induced cell death are largely unknown. Here, we report that both p53 and Bax are central participants in the MDA-mediated cell death machinery in HCT116 human colon cancer cells. MDA, including epothilone B analogue (BMS-247550) and...
