Action against Disease Model Mepacrine The potential role of quinacrine in enhancing the effects of cisplatin was investigated in Hela, SCC-VII, SACC-83 and C6 cancer cell lines by using a CCK-8 assay for viability and a TUNEL assay for apoptosis. quinacrine markedly enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin in a dose-dependant manner in the 4 cancer cell lines. The TUNEL assay showed that treating the 4 cell lines for 24 h with cisplatin plus quinacrine significantly increased the percentage of apoptotic cells compared to treatment with single-agent treatment or untreated controls. Western blot analysis showed that quinacrine plus cisplatin significantly down-regulated cIAP-1 and up-regulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression in Hela and SCC-VII cells compared with single-agent treatment.

The Effect of Target Knockout, Knockdown or Genetic Variations A host of p53 knock-in mouse strains has been generated, with the aim of either more precisely modeling p53 mutations in h uMan cancer or better understanding p53's regulation and downstream activities.Studies of p53 mouse models have established that both p53-driven cell cycle arrest and apoptosis responses contribute to t uMor suppression and that activation of p53 by oncogenic stress imposes an important barrier to t uMorigenesis.p53 loss is not only required for t uMor development, but also t uMor maintenance,suggesting that p53 restoration in h uMan cancer patients may be a promising therapeutic strategy.
