Statins induce apoptosis through inhibition of Ras signaling pathways and enhancement of Bim and p27 expression in human hematopoietic tumor cells

Recently, statins have been demonstrated to improve cancer-related mortality or prognosis in patients of various cancers. However, the details of the apoptosis-inducing mechanisms remain unknown. This study showed that the induction of apoptosis by statins in hematopoietic tumor cells is mediated by...
