Cyclic Pifithrin-α Sensitizes Wild Type p53 Tumor Cells to Antimicrotubule Agent–Induced Apoptosis

As a consequence of multiple functions of p53, its activation in response to cytotoxic stress may have proapoptotic or protective effects depending on the nature of lesions. We have previously shown that mutational inactivation of p53 results in sensitization to paclitaxel. In this study, we used c...
