Adenovirus-Mediated Overexpression of REIC/Dkk-3 Selectively Induces Apoptosis in Human Prostate Cancer Cells through Activation of c-Jun-NH2-Kinase
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
Alteration in genes which takes place during malignant conversion and progression could be potential targets for gene therapy. We previously identified REIC/Dkk-3 as a gene whose expression is reduced in many human cancers. Here, we showed that expression of REIC/Dkk-3 was consistently reduced in human prostate cancer tissues in a stage-dependent manner. Forced expression of REIC/Dkk-3 induced apoptosis in human...
