摘要
The extent to which specific anticancer drugs induce apoptosis in tumors frequently predicts the success of chemotherapy for a particular type of cancer. Recent results from experiments designed to evaluate drug-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells revealed that the levels of BCL-2-related apoptotic suppressor proteins were dramatically reduced compared with those of pro-apoptotic proteins. In the case of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, this might be a consequence of inhibition of the cyclooxygenase-mediated production of prostaglandins.
