Abstract excerpt
FAK (focal adhesion kinase)-mediated signalling reportedly suppresses caspase-8 activation and, as a consequence, rescues epithelial cells from Fas-mediated anoikis. Critical was the use of a HOSCC (human oesophageal squamous carcinoma) cell line harbouring mt (mutant) p53-R175H and displaying resistance to detachment and Tyr397 dephosphorylation of FAK. Here we show, although caspase-8 activation is delayed in...
