Mismatch Repair Protein Deficiency Compromises Cisplatin-induced Apoptotic Signaling
14 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR) proteins participate in cytotoxicity induced by certain DNA damage-inducing agents, including cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), CDDP), a cancer chemotherapeutic drug utilized clinically to treat a variety of malignancies. MMR proteins have been demonstrated to bind to CDDP-DNA adducts and initiate MMR protein-dependent cell death in cells treated with CDDP; however, the molecular...
