Target Validation Information
TTD ID T77645
Target Name TRAIL receptor 1 (TRAIL-R1)
Type of Target
Clinical trial
Action against Disease Model RhApo2L/TRAIL Drug Info The combination of TRAIL treatment and cancer cell selective expression of TRAIL-death receptor DR4 induces cell death in TRAIL-resistant cancer cells. We generated a death receptor-4 (DR4)-expressing adenovirus (Ad-hTERT-DR4), in which the expression of DR4 is driven by the hTERT promoter. Upon infection, DR4 expression was slightly increased in cancer cell lines, and cell death was observed in TRAIL-resistant cancer cell lines but not in normal h uMan cells when DR4 infection was combined with TRAIL treatment.
