Abstract excerpt
The X-chromosome-linked inhibitor of the apoptosis protein (XIAP) is known to be an inhibitory factor for caspase-3. The aim of our study was to see whether radiation-induced apoptosis is enhanced by RNA interference targeting the XIAP through an elevation of caspase-3 activity, and whether the effect of XIAP depression depends on the p53 status of cancer cells. Two types of transformed human cultured non-small...
