Abstract excerpt
Interferonalpha (IFNalpha) induces cell cycle arrest and triggers apoptosis and chemosensitivity. But the mechanism of IFNalpha in regulating chemosensitivity has not been fully understood. To study whether IFNalpha affected chemosensitivity of osteosarcoma cells, we treated p53-wild U2OS cells and p53-mutant MG63 cells with IFNalpha and etoposide, alone or in combination, and then examined growth inhibition,...
