Apoptotic responsiveness of PC-3 prostate cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand: evidence for differential effects of Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 down-regulation.

abstract：:Tanshinone IIA (TSIIA), a natural diterpene quinone in the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Dan-Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), has extensively exerted antitumor activity in cellular and animal models. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of TSIIA remain largely unknown. The in vitro effect...
