Abstract

Background: IAP antagonists sensitize toward apoptosis induced by TNF and other TNFR family ligands. Results: IAP antagonism exerted effects on spontaneous as well as TNF-induced cytokine and chemokine production. Conclusion: IAPs regulate spontaneous as well as TNF-induced cytokine/chemokine production. Significance: IAP antagonists modulate cytokine production as well as apoptosis, which could influence their utility as adjuncts to chemotherapy.
