1 In this study, we showed that tunicamycin, a naturally occurring antibiotic, is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of DR5 expression. Tunicamycin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
2 Tunicamycin significantly sensitized PC-3, androgen-independent human prostate cancer cells, to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Tunicamycin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
3 The tunicamycin-mediated enhancement of TRAIL-induced apoptosis was markedly blocked by a recombinant human DR5/Fc chimeric protein. Tunicamycin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, the tunicamycin-mediated sensitization to TRAIL was efficiently reduced by DR5 small interfering RNA, suggesting that the sensitization was mediated through induction of DR5 expression. Tunicamycin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
