A whole-genome RNAi screen identifies an 8q22 gene cluster that inhibits death receptor-mediated apoptosis
26 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Deregulation of apoptosis is a common occurrence in cancer, for which emerging oncology therapeutic agents designed to engage this pathway are undergoing clinical trials. With the aim of uncovering strategies to activate apoptosis in cancer cells, we used a pooled shRNA screen to interrogate death receptor signaling. This screening approach identified 16 genes that modulate the sensitivity to ligand induced...
