title: PRIMA-1(met) radiosensitizes prostate cancer cells independent of their MTp53-status.
abstract: The novel agent PRIMA-1(met) can reactivate WTp53 function in MTp53-expressing cells. We investigated PRIMA-1(met) as a radiosensitizer of WTp53, p53Null or MTp53 prostate cancer cells. Radiosensitization was observed in PC3 (p53Null) cells, even under hypoxia. In certain circumstances, PRIMA-1(met) may therefore act independently of MTp53 status and WTp53 transactivation.
