## Abstract The prostate‐apoptosis‐response‐gene‐4 (Par‐4) protein has been shown to function as an effector of cell death in response to various apoptotic stimuli that trigger mitochondria and membrane receptor‐mediated cell death pathways. We found that overexpressing Par‐4 by stable transfection
## Abstract Multidrug resistant (MDR) tumor cells exhibit an altered pH gradient across different cell compartments, which favors a reduced intracellular accumulation of antineoplastic drugs and a decreased therapeutic effect. In our study, we have observed that the activity and expression of Na^+^
Glutathione (␥-glutamylcysteinyl glycine, GSH) is believed to be important in the acquisition of resistance to anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DOX). ␥-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (␥-GCS) is a key enzyme for maintaining intracellular GSH levels; it is composed of a catalyt
## Background Uterine serpins are members of the serine proteinase inhibitor superfamily. Like some other serpins, these proteins do not appear to be functional proteinase inhibitors. The most studied member of the group, ovine uterine serpin (OvUS), inhibits proliferation of several cell types inc
