The enhancement of apoptosis is a therapeutic strategy used in the treatment of cancer. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising antitumor agent. However, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells exhibit marked resistance to the induction of cell death by TRAIL. The

Although most of the patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) can be cured by the current regimen of high-dose multiagent chemotherapy, the treatment causes high risks of later toxicities including secondary malignancies. Therefore, new rational strategies are needed for HL treatment. Tumor necrosis

The human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1)-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is incurable by currently known therapies. ATL samples and cell lines derived from ATL patients show restricted sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and CD95

Crude extracts from different Aglaia species are used as anti-inflammatory remedies in the traditional medicine of several countries from Southeast Asia. Because NF-kappaB transcription factors represent key regulators of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses, we supposed that the

To study effects of cellular FLICE (FADD-like IL-1β-converting enzyme)-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) inhibition by RNA interference (RNAi) on sensitivity of U2OS cells to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis, plasmid pSUPER-c-FLIP-siRNA was
