Bone Marrow Stroma Confers Resistance to Apo2 Ligand/TRAIL in Multiple Myeloma in Part by Regulating c-FLIP
1 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
Apo2 ligand (Apo2L)/TRAIL induces apoptosis of cancer cells that express the specific receptors while sparing normal cells. Because the tumor microenvironment protects myeloma from chemotherapy, we investigated whether hemopoietic stroma induces resistance to Apo2L/TRAIL apoptosis in this disease. Apo2L/TRAIL-induced death was diminished in myeloma cell lines (RPMI 8226, U266, and MM1s) directly adhered to a...
