Abstract excerpt
Bcl-2 has been shown to inhibit apoptosis induced by several anticancer agents and to cause a dissociation between etoposide (VP-16)-induced protein-cross-linked DNA strand breaks and VP-16-induced cell death. We suggested previously that VP-16-induced cytotoxicity is mediated by a series of events leading from cleavable complex formation to aberrant DNA recombination, as measured by sister chromatid exchange...
