Abstract excerpt
It is not completely understood how certain epithelial cells harboring mutant p53 have better response to chemotherapy. We investigate the mechanism of cisplatin-induced apoptosis in two resistant cell lines (parental TCCSUP and R273L mutant p53 transfectant) and two sensitive cell lines (V143A and N247I mutant p53 transfectants). Activation of caspase 9 was demonstrated by Western blotting, and specific...
