Abstract:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) is a promising antitumor agent, but its clinical utility in human malignancies is limited by the resistance mechanism evolved in many cancers types, including overexpresion of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 like proteins and lack or disfunction of proapoptotic agents.
Bid is well known proapoptotic factor able to inhibit Bcl-2 proteins after activation by caspases 8 or 10. Bid may also promote apoptosis by forming selective voltage depen… Show more
