Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that actin damage by treatment with an actin-depolymerizing agent including pectenotoxin-2 induces Bim-mediated apoptosis in p53-deficient human tumors. In this study, we investigated a molecular mechanism underlying Bim-mediated apoptosis of p53-deficient tumor cells following actin damage. We found that actin inhibitors increased the protein levels of p53 and p21 and thereby inactivated...
