Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: E2F-1 is a transcription factor that stimulates cellular proliferation and cell cycle progression. E2F-1 alone is sufficient to stimulate cells to initiate DNA synthesis, and this unscheduled entry into S phase is a potent trigger of apoptosis. Gemcitabine, a novel pyrimidine analogue with structural and metabolic similarities to cytarabine, also can efficiently induce apoptosis, especially for cancer...
