6. The combination treatment with ILz:rhTRAIL and bortezomib was able to induce cell death in both TRAIL-susceptible and TRAIL-resistant cancer cells through the intracellular TRAIL signaling pathway. The efficiency of cell death was dependent on the properties of TRAIL under the environment provided by bortezomib. The combination treatment-induced cell death was not regulated by bortezomib-induced ER stress response or by a PMID: 29661248

12. We found that the combination of alpha-mangostin with TRAIL induced apoptosis of SAS cells through the mitochondrial pathway via activation of caspase-9 and -3/7, following release of cytochrome c. This apoptosis was induced by S/G2/M-phase arrest. Immunopositivity for c-Myc was observed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells in 16 (40%) of the 40 cases of human oral squamous cell carcinoma (HOSCC).
