Selective inhibition of PED protein expression sensitizes B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells to TRAIL‐induced apoptosis
27 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) cells fail to undergo apoptosis. The mechanism underlying this resistance to cell death is still largely unknown. Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) effectively kills tumour cells but not normal cells, and thus represents an attractive tool for the treatment of cancer. Unfortunately, lymphocytes from B-CLL patients are resistant to...
