Abstract:The tumor necrosis, factor-related, apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is regarded as a potentially useful anticancer agent with excellent selectivity for cancer cells. However, a considerable number of cancer cells are resistant to apoptosis induction by TRAIL. Developing strategies to overcome this resistance are important for the successful use of TRAIL for cancer therapy. Here, we revealed that siRNA-mediated downregulation of SIRT1 or SIRT1 inhibitor Amurensin G upregulated DR5 and c-Myc and downregulated … Show more
