摘要: Background We assessed the influence of sequential treatment ionizing radiation followed by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) on intracellular mechanisms apoptosis prostate cells in vitro and vivo. Methods Prostate normal cancer were exposed to irradiation TRAIL. Four- 6-week-old athymic nude mice injected s.c. with PC-3 cells. Tumor bearing TRAIL, either alone or combination (TRAIL after 24 hr irradiation), growth, apoptosis, survival examined. Expressions death receptors, Bcl-2 family members, caspase measured Western blotting, ELISA, ribonuclease protection assay; cellularity was HE inhibition p53 performed RNA interference (RNAi) technology, annexin V/propidium iodide staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated nick end labeling assay. Results Irradiation significantly augmented TRAIL-induced through upregulation DR5, Bax, Bak, induction activation. Dominant negative FADD siRNA inhibited synergistic interaction between The pretreatment TRAIL enhanced more than single agent concurrent treatment. Furthermore, sensitized TRAIL-resistant LNCaP undergo apoptosis. xenografted activation caspase-3, Bax Bcl-2, completely eradicated established tumors mice. Conclusion The can be used as a viable option enhance therapeutic potential cancer. © 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
