The SMAC mimetic AT-101 exhibits anti-tumor and anti-metastasis activity in lung adenocarcinoma cells by the IAPs/ caspase-dependent apoptosis and p65-NFƙB cross-talk.

Objectives: The Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) regulate initiator and effector phases of caspase mediated apoptosis. This study evaluates the effects of SMAC mimetic AT-101 in regulation of IAPs/caspases/NFƙB-p65 in an adenocarcinoma cell line.

Materials And Methods: MTT assay was performed in the NCI-H522 cell line.
