Increased BNip3 and decreased mutant p53 in cisplatin-sensitive PDT-resistant HT29 cells

Abstract

We have reported previously the isolation of three photodynamic therapy (PDT)-resistant human colon carcinoma HT29 cell lines that show increased expression of the Hsp27 and BNip3 protein and a decreased expression of the mutant p53 protein compared to parental HT29 cells. Since mutant p53 and increased expression of Hsp27 have been associated with resistance to various chemotherapeutic agents, whereas BNip3 is a potent inducer of apoptosis, we …
