Susceptibility of human head and neck cancer cells to combined inhibition of glutathione and thioredoxin metabolism.

Susceptibility of human head and neck cancer cells to combined inhibition of glutathione and thioredoxin metabolism.

Increased glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (Trx) metabolism are mechanisms that are widely implicated in resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapy. The current study determined if simultaneous inhibition of GSH and Trx metabolism enhanced cell killing of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma...
