Abstract
We characterized doxorubicin-induced cell death in gastric cancer cells. It induced apoptotic phenotypes including poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and activation of caspases. By using cDNA microarray analysis, we identified 18 genes that are induced by doxorubicin in at least four of nine gastric cancer cell lines.
