Consequently, disruption of ribosome biogenesis by agents such as the small molecule inhibitor of RNA Polymerase I transcription, CX-5461, has shown unexpected, potent, and selective effects in killing tumour cells via disruption of nucleolar function leading to activation of p53, independent of DNA damage.
Treatment with rhBCL2A1 or rhBCL2 protein protects mice from sepsis by reducing apoptosis in multiple target tissues, demonstrating an unexpected, potent activity of extracellularly administered BCL2 BH4-domain proteins.
Our findings, subsequently confirmed by others, have delineated unexpected potent anti-fibrotic effects of PPAR-γ in vitro and in vivo [ 19- 24].
A pioneer study by Gordon et al. first described an unexpected potent synergism and a sustained bactericidal activity of the VAN + COL combination against MDR COL-sensitive A. baumannii [ 10], and similar effects were later reported for COL-resistant strains [ 12].
