Induction of the CD95L by cytostatic drugs with different mechanisms of action. Semiquantitative PCR analysis of CD95L mRNA expression in HepG2, Hep3B, and Huh7 cells upon treatment with cyclophosphamide (cyclo), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin (doxo), mitomycin (mitom), mitoxantrone (mitox), and actinomycin (actino). CD95L mRNA expression was induced in HepG2 (wt p53), Hep3B (p53−/−), and Huh7 cells (mt p53). Densitometry was performed to analyze CD95L expression in relation to β-actin expression. CD95L mRNA induction was independent of the p53 status of the cells. The extent of CD95L expression upon chemotherapeutic treatment showed variability dependent on the agent and the cell line tested.
