Inhibition of IGF-1R-Dependent PI3K Activation Sensitizes Colon Cancer Cells Specifically to DR5-Mediated Apoptosis But Not to rhTRAIL
Background: Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) initiates apoptosis in tumor cells upon binding to its cognate agonistic receptors, death receptors 4 and 5 (DR4 and DR5). The activity of the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) survival pathway is often increased in cance...
