Determinants for the efficiency of anticancer drugs targeting either Aurora-A or Aurora-B kinases in human colon carcinoma cells
1 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The mitotic Aurora kinases, including Aurora-A and Aurora- B, are attractive novel targets for anticancer therapy, and inhibitory drugs have been developed that are currently undergoing clinical trials. However, the molecular mechanisms how these drugs induce tumor cell death are poorly understood. We have addressed this question by comparing the requirements for an efficient induction of apoptosis in response to...
