bcl-2 over-expression delays radiation-induced apoptosis without affecting the clonogenic survival of human prostate cancer cells
27 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
In this study we evaluated the effect of over-expression of the bcl-2 gene, a potent apoptosis suppressor, on radiation-induced apoptotic cell death in 2 human prostate cancer cell lines, androgen-independent PC-3 cells and androgen-sensitive LNCaP cells. Cells were transfected with the bcl-2 gene and bcl-2 transfectant clones isolated under neomycin selection; bcl-2 gene integration and level of mRNA and protein...
