Synergistic Effect of Subtoxic-dose Cisplatin and TRAIL to Mediate Apoptosis by Down-regulating Decoy Receptor 2 and Up-regulating Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Bax Expression on NCI-H460 and A549 Cells

Objective(s): Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can selectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells, more than half of tumors including non-small k24a4 block cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibit TRAIL-resistance.The purpose of this study was to determine whether subtoxic-dose cisplatin and TRAIL could synergistically
