Abstract excerpt
Isothiocyanates are a class of phytochemicals able to induce apoptosis in numerous cells including Jurkat T-lymphoma cells overexpressing the oncoprotein Bcl-2. To test if isothiocyanates are also effective against other anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family we generated Jurkat cells stably overexpressing Bcl-X(L). Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) was cytotoxic to these cells, with an LD(50) ranging from 9...
