In agreement with the results of colon cancer studies26, we found that the GSK-3 inhibitor 9-ING-41 induced apoptosis in p53-wt RT4 bladder cancer cell line, whereas p53-mut HT1376 bladder cancer cells were more resistant to 9-ING-41 therapy which showed mostly growth inhibitory effect. The gene discussed is TP53; the disease is urinary bladder carcinoma.
