Abstract:Poster PresentationsP163 at 2 hours after irradiation. EGR-1 knock-down cells displayed decreased radiation-induced apoptosis, compared with control cells in cell apoptosis assay. Cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 7, cleaved PARP, and Bax activation was decreased by EGR-1 knock-down after irradiation.Conclusions: EGR-1 had abundant expression in human HNSCC tissue. EGR-1 knock-down decreased radiationinduced apoptosis through caspase 3, caspase, 7, PARP, and Bax. EGR-1 may play an important role in treatment … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
