abstract：:Human colon cancer SW480 cells express the c-myc gene. On the other hand, SW480DDP cell lines resistant to cisplatin exhibited decreased c-myc gene expression, but their cell growth rates remained similar to those of their parental cells. Antisense oligonucleotides to c-myc inhibited c-myc expression and induced incre...
