A study of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was undertaken to ascertain the degree of apoptosis induction by paclitaxel and if the induction of apoptosis could be enhanced by caffeine. Paclitaxel (0-20 ng/ml) caused concentration-dependent increases in morphologically identifiable apoptotic cells (up
Resistance to apoptosis plays an important role in tumors that are refractory to chemotherapy and ionizing radiation (IR). bax, which forms a heterddimer with bcl-2 and accelerates apoptosir, is not, or only weakly. expremed in most human breast cancer cells, and weak bax expression is considered to
The purpose of this study was to determine whether expression of tissue transglutaminase (TG2) and caspase-3 proteins in drug-resistant breast carcinoma MCF-7/DOX cells would render these cells selectively susceptible to apoptotic stimuli. Despite high resistance to multidrug resistance (MDR)-relate
