1 Ectopic and IFN-induced expression of Fas overcomes resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells. ammonium ferrous sulfate interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 In addition, IFN treatment attenuated the interleukin 6 (IL-6)-dependent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), interfering with a known survival pathway in MM that has previously been linked with resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis. ammonium ferrous sulfate interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 Taken together, our results show that IFN-induced up-regulation of Fas sensitizes MM cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis and suggest that attenuation of Stat3 activation may be a potentially important event in this process. ammonium ferrous sulfate interferon alpha 1 Homo sapiens
