Pancreatic cancer cells are usually resistant to apoptosis induced by cytotoxic drugs, by activation of surface receptors such as Fas and TNF receptor or by serum or growth factor withdrawal. Actinomycin D (actD) is an inhibitor of RNA synthesis and acts as a potent inducer of apoptosis in several c

## BACKGROUND. A previous study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) delayed the in vivo growth of three (AsPC-1, Capan-2, and MiaPaCa-2) of nine human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines transplanted into nude mice (Cancer 1995; 75:1263-72). The current study was undertaken to evaluate the bas
Retinoblastomas appear to be derived from a multipotential stem cell of the retina, due to alterations of the Rb1 gene. These tumors arise only within a discrete time frame during childhood, prior to terminal differentiation of the retinal precursor cells. Treatment of retinoblastoma cells with cert
Epidemiologic evidence reveals striking racial differences in incidence and clinical behavior of prostate cancer among American men. In this study, we assessed the incidence of apoptosis and cell proliferation in prostate cancer specimens from African-American and Caucasian patients in an attempt to
Human myeloblastic cell line HL-60 cells undergo apoptosis during in vitro culture in a cell density-dependent manner, and this cell density-dependent apoptosis was observed when the concentration of cultured cells exceeded 8-10 x 10(5) cells/ml. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a differentiation inducer
