Caspase-mediated p65 cleavage promotes TRAIL-induced apoptosis.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is cytotoxic to a wide variety of transformed cells, but not to most normal cells, implying potential therapeutic value against advanced cancer. However, signal transduction in TRAIL-mediated apoptosis is not clearly understood compared with other TNF family members. Specifically, it is not yet understood how TRAIL controls n...
متن کاملApoptosis induced by 7-ketocholesterol is enhanced in smooth muscle cells derived from OLETF rats.
To clarify whether an increased proliferative potential of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) under diabetic conditions augments the susceptibility of the cells to 7-ketocholesterol-induced apoptosis, we investigated the difference in sensitivity to 7-ketocholesterol between SMC obtained from diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats and the control Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LE...
متن کاملCaspase-mediated apoptosis and caspase-independent cell death induced by irofulven in prostate cancer cells.
Irofulven (hydroxymethylacylfulvene) is a novel antitumor drug, which acts by alkylating cellular macromolecular targets. The drug is a potent inducer of apoptosis in various types of tumor cells, whereas it is nonapoptotic in normal cells. This study defined molecular responses to irofulven involving mitochondrial dysfunction and leading to death of prostate tumor LNCaP-Pro5 cells. Irofulven c...
متن کاملActivation of caspase-8 and caspase-12 pathways by 7-ketocholesterol in human retinal pigment epithelial cells.
PURPOSE To determine whether caspase or cathepsin pathways are activated in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) after exposure to 7-ketocholesterol (7kCh). METHODS ARPE-19 cells were exposed to 7kCh with or without z-VAD-fmk, a pan-caspase inhibitor. Caspase-3, -8, and -9 activities were measured by a fluorochrome inhibitor of caspase (FLICA) assay. Caspase-12 activity was detect...
متن کاملTelomerase confers resistance to caspase-mediated apoptosis
There is growing evidence that accelerated telomeric attrition and/or aberrant telomerase activity contributes to pathogenesis in a number of diseases. Likewise, there is increasing interest to develop new therapies to restore or replace dysfunctional cells characterized by short telomeric length using telomerase-positive counterparts or stem cells. While telomerase adds telomeric repeats de no...
