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
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
