## Background: Bcl-2 protein is believed to play a role in neoplasia by inhibiting tumor cell apoptosis. to assess its contribution to gallbladder tumorigenesis and cancer progression, an immunohistochemical study was performed. ## Methods: Fifteen adenomas and 68 adenocarcinomas were immunohisto

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-
ROIs and their scavengers are associated with apoptosis induction by anticancer drugs and โฅ-rays, but the details have not been clarified. We examined the effect of transfection of Mn-SOD antisense on apoptosis by 5-FU, PLM, CDDP and โฅ-rays using nu/nu mice. After inoculation of Mn-SOD antisense-tra
