## Abstract Taxol is extensively used clinically for chemotherapy of patients with ovarian, breast, and lung cancer. Although taxol induces apoptosis of cancer cells, its exact mechanism of action is not yet known. To determine the mechanism of action of taxol in ovarian cancer, we tested the effec

## Abstract Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death. Apoptosis plays an essential role in maintaining normal tissue and cell physiology in multicellular organisms. Clearance of aberrant or preβcancerous cells occurs through the induction of apoptosis. It has been reported that many tumors
## Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in women. A number of studies have suggested that synthetic retinoids may play an important role as an ovarian cancer chemotherapeutic agent. The synthetic retinoid CD 437 induces apoptosis in ovarian tumor cells by a mechanism
## Abstract InterferonβΞ³ (IFNβΞ³), as one of interferon family that regulates antiviral, antiproliferative, and immunomodulatory responses, has been implicated for the growth regulation of ovarian cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms are not yet fully defined. To analyze detailed mechanis
## Abstract Magnolol has been reported to have anticancer activity. In this study we found that treatment with 100 ΞΌm magnolol induced apoptosis in cultured human hepatoma (Hep G2) and colon cancer (COLO 205) cell lines but not in human untransformed gingival fibroblasts and human umbilical vein en
## Abstract Prolactin, a peptide hormone essential for the development and function of reproductive organs, is involved in development of breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. However, the role of prolactin on the carcinogenesis of ovarian carcinomas is unclear. In this study, we show that mRNA
