Indomethacin induces apoptosis in the EC109 esophageal cancer cell line by releasing second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase and activating caspase-3.

abstract：:It is well known that the mammalian associate of Myc-1 (AMY-1) plays a significant role in spermatogenesis or cellular differentiation. A full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding AMY-1 of Schistosoma japonicum (SjAMY-1) was identified and isolated from a cDNA library. The gene contained an open reading frame of 3...
