1 Our observations indicated that resveratrol, a polyphenolic phytoalexin, decreased STAT3 and NF-kappaB activation, while activating JNK-cJun that finally suppressed expression of cFLIP and Bcl-xL proteins and increased sensitivity to exogenous TRAIL in DR5-positive melanomas.

2 Hence, an initial increase in DR5 surface expression (either by gamma-irradiation or arsenite), and subsequent downregulation of antiapoptotic cFLIP and Bcl-xL (by resveratrol), appear to constitute an efficient approach to reactivate apoptotic death pathways in TRAIL-resistant human melanomas.
