The effect of glutathione depletion on cellular toxicity of cadmium was investigated in a subpopulation (T27) of human lung carcinoma A549 cells with coordinately high glutathione levels and Cd++-resistance. Cellular glutathione levels were depleted by exposing the cells to diethyl maleate or buthio

## Abstract Chemotherapeutic drugs eliminate cancer cells by induction of apoptosis. Resistance to chemotherapy is partly due to a decreased apoptosis rate. Here we investigated resistance to anticancer drugs in 9 small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines. Apoptosis was induced by cisplatin, doxorub
Cell lines derived from the major morphological types of human lung cancer were tested for their ability to utilize the SV40 enhancerlearly promoter. These cell lines were transfected with a recombinant plasmid containing a reporter gene, coding for chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT), under the
Aloe-emodin (1,8-dihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-anthraquinone) is one of the active constituents from the root and rhizome of Rheum palmatum. Our previous study has demonstrated that aloe-emodin induced a significant change in the expression of lung cancer cell apoptosis-related proteins compared to th
