Forkhead box protein O1 mediates apoptosis in a cancer cervical cell line treated with the antitumor agent tumor necrosis factor-α

B. Zhang, Gui, L., Zhu, L., Zhao, X., Yang, Y., and Li, Q., Forkhead box protein O1 mediates apoptosis in a cancer cervical cell line treated with the antitumor agent tumor necrosis factor-α, vol. 14, pp. 7446-7454, 2015.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important pro-apoptotic cytokine, which performs a broad range of immune and inflammatory functions in several vital processes. TNF-α-induced apoptosis has been confirmed, however, relatively little is known regarding the role of forkhead box class-O 1 (FOXO1) in mediating TNF-α-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer. In our study, we used the well-characterized cervical cancer cell line C-33A to investigate the role of FOXO1.
