Sorafenib induces apoptosis through reactive oxygen species production, JNK/p38 MAPK activation, and suppression of Akt/NF-kB signaling in EBV-transformed B cells (P2088)
Abstract:Sorafenib (SRF), the multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is known as a potential targeted drug that may have antitumor activity against various cancers, but the roles of SRF in EBV-transformed B cells remain unclear. Here, we investigated the in vitro cytotoxic effects of SRF on EBV-transformed B cells and the underlying mechanism such as the changes in oxidative stress and MAPKs signaling, which are closely associated with cell death-signaling transduction pathways, in EBV-transformed B cells treated with SRF… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
