Abstract

Apoptosis is a physiological mechanism to maintain human tissues or cells, and pathological dysfunction of this process explains some disease states or drug resistance. P53, mdm2, sumoylation, signal transduction, and transcriptional control are important in regulation in cancer cells. We focus on the mechanisms of apoptosis in cancer cells involving SUMO.
