Recent studies have shown that high levels of the apoptosisrelated proteins bcl-2 and bcl-x, increase, while over-expression of bcl-x, or bax decreases, resistance to drugs that induce apoptosis in some human cancer cells. In the present report, we investigated whether expression of these apoptosis-
Derivatives of camptothecins, topoisomerase I inhibitors and 7-hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01), a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and cell cycle checkpoint abrogator, are promising anticancer drugs. We characterized the apoptotic response to camptothecin and UCN-01 for the 8 human breast carcinoma ce
