Nutlins and Ionizing Radiation in Cancer Therapy
30 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Radioresistance stands as a fundamental barrier that limits the effectiveness of radiotherapy in cancer treatment. Recent evidences suggest that radioresistance is due to tumour repopulation and involves several signalling pathways, including p53/MDM2 interaction. Ionizing radiation induces p53-dependent MDM2 gene transcription that, in turn, inhibits p53 transcriptional activity, favouring its nuclear export and...
