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

## Abstract **Scope:** Naturally‐occurring chemopreventive agent phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), derived primarily from watercress, has been shown to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. In this study, we examined the potential of PEITC in enhancing cisplatin‐induced apoptosi
Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced apoptosis of androgen sensitive LNCaP human prostate cancer cells is a well known phenomenon that involves prolonged translocation of multiple protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes to nonnuclear membranes. We have shown recently that PMA-induced death of C4-2
Resistance to apoptosis plays an important role in malignancies that are refractory to chemotherapy treatment. Recently we have shown that the expression of bax-a, a death-promoting member of the bcl-2 family, is down-regulated in breast cancer and have provided evidence that low bax expression migh
