Apoptosis, cell cycle progression and gene expression in TP53-depleted HCT116 colon cancer cells in response to short-term 5-fluorouracil treatment
1 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
Loss of TP53 function may contribute to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in colorectal cancer since TP53-deficient cells may be unable to undergo apoptosis in response to 5-FU-induced DNA damage. 5-FU treatment of TP53-deficient cells would provide useful information on the apoptotic response to drug-induced DNA damage in the absence of TP53 and its transcriptional targets. We investigated apoptosis induction and...
