The inhibition of autophagy sensitises colon cancer cells with wild-type p53 but not mutant p53 to topotecan treatment.
BACKGROUND: Topotecan produces DNA damage that induces autophagy in cancer cells. In this study, sensitising topotecan to colon cancer cells with different P53 status via modulation of autophagy was examined. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The DNA damage induced by topotecan treatment resulted in c...
