By contrast, XIAP inhibitors did not affect cancer cell viability <i>in vitro</i>, and the small molecule survivin inhibitor YM155 significantly reduced cell viability and proliferation in esophageal cancer cell lines.
Clinically, TRIM37 levels correlated positively with levels of activated NF-κB and expression of Bcl-xl and XIAP in esophageal cancer specimens, which also associated positively with clinical stage and tumor-node-metastasis classification and associated inversely with overall and relapse-free survival in patients with esophageal cancer.
Immunohistochemistry was conducted for the identification of NDRG2, protein kinase B (p-AKT), X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) in EC tissues.
In this study, we investigated the expression of XIAP in esophageal cancer tissues and cell lines, and found the elevated expression of XIAP in esophageal cancer tissues compared with normal tissues.
