1 Cisplatin-mediated sensitivity to TRAIL-induced cell death in human granulosa tumor cells. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
2 Real-time PCR was used for gene expression analysis of the TRAIL receptor dr5 and the pro-apoptotic bax following treatment with cisplatin. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
3 This effect was enhanced following pre-treatment with cisplatin (25 microM) for 2 or 18 h. Moreover, pre-treatment with cisplatin decreased the maximal effective dose of TRAIL from 100 ng/ml to as low as 3 ng/ml in both cell lines. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
4 This effect was enhanced following pre-treatment with cisplatin (25 microM) for 2 or 18 h. Moreover, pre-treatment with cisplatin decreased the maximal effective dose of TRAIL from 100 ng/ml to as low as 3 ng/ml in both cell lines. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
5 While the level of p53 expression enhanced both the death-inducing and TRAIL-sensitizing effects of cisplatin, TRAIL-induced cell death was found to occur independent of p53. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
6 CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the efficacy of cisplatin in GCT cells can be enhanced through combinatorial treatment with TRAIL. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
7 Combinatorial treatment of GCTs with cisplatin and TRAIL may provide an efficacious addition to cisplatin-based regimens. Cisplatin TNF superfamily member 10 Homo sapiens
