Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase-1 (ASK-1) is an important molecule for the pro-apoptotic signaling. ASK-1 also contributes to the cellular survival for many types of cells. Thus, ASK-1 has a broad range of biological activities depending on the cell type. The present study assessed the role(s) of ASK-1 in colorectal cancer cells (HT-29) by using adenovirus vectors expressing wild-type (WT)-ASK-1 or...
