Inhibition of p38 MAPK-dependent excision repair cross-complementing 1 expression decreases the DNA repair capacity to sensitize lung cancer cells to etoposide.

abstract：:HA14-1 is a small molecular compound that was identified based on the structure of Bcl-2. HA14-1 interacts with Bcl-2 and inhibits the antiapoptotic effect of Bcl-2. We investigated the mechanism of HA14-1-induced apoptosis and found that HA14-1 induces translocation of Bax from cytosols to the mitochondria. Cells def...
