research Roles of p38- and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated pathways in 2-methoxyestradiol-induced p53 induction and apoptosis
This study found that 2-methoxyestradiol induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells by activating p53 through a pathway dependent on p38/JNK-mediated NFkappaB/AP-1 activation, with JNK-dependent Bcl-2 phosphorylation also playing a critical role.
