1 5-Fluorouracil induces apoptosis in human colon cancer cell lines with modulation of Bcl-2 family proteins. Fluorouracil BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
2 We sought to determine the roles played by the p53 and Bcl-2 family of proteins in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced apoptosis of human colon cancer cell lines. Fluorouracil BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
3 We sought to determine the roles played by the p53 and Bcl-2 family of proteins in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced apoptosis of human colon cancer cell lines. Fluorouracil BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
4 In cells containing wild-type p53 (e.g. LoVo), 5-FU-induced apoptosis was accompanied by increased expression of Bax and Bak without consistent modulation of other bcl-2 family proteins. Fluorouracil BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
5 In conclusion, these results suggest that some members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, in human colon cancer cell lines, are modulated by 5-FU and that the ratio of Bcl-X(L) to Bax may be related to chemosensitivity to 5-FU. Fluorouracil BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
