Transcription Factors Sp1 and p73 Control the Expression of the Proapoptotic Protein NOXA in the Response of Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma Cells to Cisplatin
21 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are highly responsive to and curable by cisplatin-based chemotherapy even in advanced stages. We have studied the molecular mechanisms involved in the induction of apoptosis in response to cisplatin, and found that proapoptotic Noxa is transcriptionally up-regulated following cisplatin exposure, even in the absence of p53, in NTERA2 cisplatin-sensitive cells but not in...
