  • Method for Identifying Genes Involved in Trail-Induced Apoptosis and Therapeutic Applications Thereof
    Publication number: 20110256090
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for identifying genes involved in TRAIL-induced apoptosis, to inhibitors of the expression of genes inducing resistance of cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and to activators of the expression of a gene sensitizing cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. The invention also relates to methods for sensitizing cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis, methods for treating hyperproliferative diseases, methods for determining the responsiveness of a subject suffering from a hyperproliferative disease to TRAIL, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising products capable of sensitizing cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis, and to methods for determining the prognosis of a subject suffering from a hyperproliferative disease.
