Abstract excerpt
In this work, we described the proliferation of human non-small-cell-lung-cancer (NSCLC) cells H1437 harboring p53 alleles (proline-267) can be inhibited by low-dosage topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide (VP-16) in vitro and in vivo. The cytotoxicity was demonstrated by prolonged cell arrest at G2-M checkpoint exhibiting senescence-like phenotype followed by apoptotic cell death that appeared on the sixth day of...
