“Our current study … combination of bleomycin … AA significantly enhanced the expression of FAS gene, which is involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis) and caspases 3 and 8 compared … bleomycin or AA alone implying that activation of extrinsic apoptotic pathway plays a major role in their (bleomycin + AA) tumoricidal action.”
“Previously, we showed that arachidonic acid (AA) augmented the growth inhibitory action of bleomycin on IMR-32 (human neuroblastoma cells) in vitro by enhancing oxidative stress.”
