Up-regulation of Fas (CD95) in human p53wild-type cancer cells treated with ionizing radiation
27 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Fas is a cell-surface protein which belongs to the tumor-necrosis-factor-receptor family. Signals through Fas are able to induce apoptosis in sensitive cells, and thus modalities for regulating the level of Fas expression on tumor cells are needed. We have studied cellular responses to gamma irradiation. The level of p53 tumor-suppressor protein was found to be elevated 3 hr after irradiation of p53wild-type...
