Abstract excerpt
The human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax transactivator is thought to play a primary role in the development of HTLV-1-mediated diseases. Using a murine fibroblast model, we previously showed that Tax reduces apoptosis induced by serum starvation by preventing cytochrome c release from the mitochondria. As Tax can enhance the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor NF-kB and cAMP-responsive element...
