A specifically radiolabeled somatostatin analog with strong antitumor activity induces apoptosis and accumulates in the cytosol and the nucleus of HT29 human colon carcinoma cells
The new heptapeptide somatostatin analog TT-232 decreases proliferation of HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells in vitro by reducing mitotic and increasing apoptotic activity. We have synthesized and characterize...

Regulation of differentiation, proliferation and drug-induced apoptosis in HT58 lymphoma cells
Recently, it has been suggested, that differentiated cells are more resistant to the apoptotic effect of DNA damaging agents possibly due to the decreased activity of “damage detecting/apoptosis triggering” me...
