Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) induce growth arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells. In addition to their intrinsic anticancer properties, HDACIs modulate cellular responses to ionizing radiation (IR). We examined the molecular mechanism(s) associated with the radiosensitizing effects of HDACIs in human lung cancer cells. METHODS: Lung cancer cells were pretreated with the appropriate...
