Induction of apoptosis by VB1 in breast cancer cells: the role of reactive oxygen species and Bcl-2 family proteins.

abstract：:Androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer is correlated with expression of bcl-2. The impact of bcl-2 expression on the growth of prostate cancer cells following androgen ablation, was examined in the androgen-sensitive prostatic carcinoma cell line, LNCaP. Vector control and bcl-2 expressing LNCaP cells were gro...
