摘要: Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays an essential role in controlling number many developmental and physiologic settings as well chemotherapy-induced tumor killing. It is a genetically regulated biologic process that by the ratio of proapoptotic proteins over antiapoptotic proteins. Researchers have recently begun using apoptosis inducers cancer therapy. In studies, attempts been made to induce triggering necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor Bcl-2 family proteins, caspases, inhibitors apoptotic Most these agents are still preclinical phase development because their low efficacy potential for resistance. However, results obtained with other promising. This chapter reviews inducing anticancer drugs clinical trials.
