p53 mutations are found in about 70% of human cancers. In order to evaluate the role of these mutations in response to chemotherapeutic agents, it is important to distinguish between p53 response to DNA-damaging agents in normal and in tumour cells. Here, using normal human fibroblasts (NHFs), we sh

## Abstract We have examined the modulation of radiosensitivity by using caffeine in two human sarcoma cell lines both with a p53 mutation (US8β93 and LMS6β93). In both cell lines a strong irradiationβinduced G2/M arrest was coupled with a low rate of apoptosis. Incubation with caffeine resulted in
Docetaxel (DOC), a member of the taxane family of anticancer drugs, binds to tubulin and produces unnaturally stable microtubules that induce cell death. DOC is used clinically alone or in combination with other compounds to treat advanced stages of cancer. We have treated the human lung cancer cell
The p53-inducible cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, p2 I / WAFI/CIPI (p2I), plays a pivotal role in the GI arrest or apoptosis of cells expored to genotoxic stimuli. To determine whether p2 I is a putative tumor-suppressor gene, p2 I status was investigated in 4 human bladder-cancer cell lines of k
