1 Dexamethasone inhibits TRAIL-induced apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells via Bcl-xL induction. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
2 In FRO cells DEX stimulated in a time-dependent fashion the expression of Bcl-xL, but not that of Bcl-2, Bax and Bad. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
3 In addition, Bcl-xL mRNA was significantly increased in the presence of DEX, suggesting a transcriptional regulation by the steroid. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
4 Transfection of the cells with siRNAs against Bcl-xL inhibited both basal and DEX-stimulated Bcl-xL expression and restored apoptosis in TRAIL-stimulated cells treated with DEX. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
5 Transfection of the cells with siRNAs against Bcl-xL inhibited both basal and DEX-stimulated Bcl-xL expression and restored apoptosis in TRAIL-stimulated cells treated with DEX. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
6 DEX acts via GR activation and up-regulation of the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL. Dexamethasone BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
