SYNERGISTIC EFFECT OF SUBTOXIC-DOSE CISPLATIN AND TRAIL TO MEDIATE APOPTOSIS BY DOWN-REGULATING DECOY RECEPTOR 2 AND UP-REGULATING CASPASE-8, CASPASE-9 AND BAX EXPRESSION ON NCI-H460 AND A549 CELLS

Synergistic Effect of Subtoxic-dose Cisplatin and TRAIL to Mediate Apoptosis by Down-regulating Decoy Receptor 2 and Up-regulating Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Bax Expression on NCI-H460 and A549 Cells
