1 Expression of a non-functional p53 affects the sensitivity of cancer cells to gemcitabine. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 The present study was performed to gain insight into the role of p53 status on the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine on cancer cells. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 This corresponded with suppression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X/L expression in wt-p53 cells exposed to gemcitabine whereas Bcl-2 levels remained stable and Bcl-X/L levels increased in mut-p53 cells exposed to gemcitabine. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that the p53 status of cancer cells influences their sensitivity to gemcitabine cytotoxicity. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
5 Our evidence suggests that loss of p53 function leads to loss of cell cycle control and alterations in the apoptotic cascade, conferring resistance to gemcitabine in cancer cell lines displaying a mut-p53. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
6 Our evidence suggests that loss of p53 function leads to loss of cell cycle control and alterations in the apoptotic cascade, conferring resistance to gemcitabine in cancer cell lines displaying a mut-p53. gemcitabine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
