Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The potentiation of topoisomerase (topo)-I-induced apoptosis by proteasome inhibitors is dependent on the treatment sequence, but not on NF-kappaB. In this study, alternate mechanisms modulating apoptosis induced with the topo I-targeting drug, SN-38, when followed by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (PS-341) were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC-3) cells...
