Abstract

The review presents analysis of last decade data on the mechanisms of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma tumorigenesis and cancerostatic action of taxanes on malignant cells. The role of different signaling cascades and cell cycle regulatory mechanisms in mediating of effects of taxanes in the tumor cell was shown. Data on paclitaxel action upon thyroid anaplastic cancer cells that reveal the mechanism of induction of apoptosis are presented. The involvement of different messenger cascades into pro- and antiapoptotic processes initiated by taxanes in the cell are discussed.
