[These results suggest that (a) the majority of human HCC cell lines are resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis and cycloheximide-sensitive short-lived antiapoptotic molecule(s) is responsible for this resistance, (b) the expression of TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 is reduced in HCC tissues, and the increased expression of TRAIL-R1 may be a mechanism of cisplatininduced sensitization to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in some HCC cells, and (c) the activation of NF-kappaB may not be involved in the TRAIL resistance of HCC cells].
