## Abstract Berberine has been shown to have antiβcarcinogenic effects. Since p53 is the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor gene, and a lack of functional p53 is associated with an increased risk of cancer development, we examined the effects of berberine on p53βpositive and p53βdeficient nonβs

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
BACKGROUND. We analyzed the cytotoxic properties of the new heterodinucleoside phosphate dimer 5-FdU-NOAC, which is composed of the cytotoxic drugs 5-FdU and N 4octadecyl-1-β€-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (NOAC) against human prostate tumor cells. METHODS. 5-FdU-NOAC effects on cell proliferation, cell
Derivatives of camptothecins, topoisomerase I inhibitors and 7-hydroxystaurosporine (UCN-01), a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and cell cycle checkpoint abrogator, are promising anticancer drugs. We characterized the apoptotic response to camptothecin and UCN-01 for the 8 human breast carcinoma ce
