## Abstract TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces programmed cell death (apoptosis) in various cancer cells but not in normal cells. TRAIL is known to bind to 4 different receptors, 2 proapoptotic (__DR4__ and __DR5__), and 2 potentially antiapoptotic receptors lacking d

## Abstract Genetic events underlying the pathogenesis of breast cancer have been studied extensively and several clinically significant markers have been identified. For example, amplification and overexpression of the __ERBB2__ oncogene is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer and __ERB
## Abstract ## Objective Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), a tumor necrosis factor receptor family member, is a secreted protein that can enhance cell survival by interfering with multiple apoptosis pathways. This study was undertaken to investigate the role of DcR3 in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseas
We examined 22 cases of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) for structural alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (ECFR) gene and found gene amplification in one case of high-stag+high-grade RCC. Dot blot analysis of the total RNA from tumorous and normal kidney tissues revealed overexpression o
Karyotype and nucleic acid analyses have been performed on glioblastoma-derived primary cell lines at early passages. Four out of five cell lines displayed a significant increase in copy number of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor gene, which was related to polisomy of chromosome 7, where the g
