Producing Soluble Human Programmed Cell Death Protein-1: A Natural supporter for CD4+T cell Cytotoxicity and Tumor Cells Apoptosis
Background: Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway is one of the immune checkpoint pathways involved in regulation of the immune responses and suppression of anti-tumor defense. PD-1/B7-H1-blocking antibodies improve immune responses such as cytotoxic activity of CD8+/CD4+T cells and also increase mortality of tumor cells; however their use is accompanied by adverse effects in pat...
متن کاملAtPDCD5 Plays a Role in Programmed Cell Death after UV-B Exposure in Arabidopsis.
DNA damage responses have evolved to sense and react to DNA damage; the induction of DNA repair mechanisms can lead to genomic restoration or, if the damaged DNA cannot be adequately repaired, to the execution of a cell death program. In this work, we investigated the role of an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) protein, AtPDCD5, which is highly similar to the human PDCD5 protein; it is induce...
متن کاملThe Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos
During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...
متن کاملA Role for Programmed Cell Death in the Microbial Loop
The microbial loop is the conventional model by which nutrients and minerals are recycled in aquatic eco-systems. Biochemical pathways in different organisms become metabolically inter-connected such that nutrients are utilized, processed, released and re-utilized by others. The result is that unrelated individuals end up impacting each others' fitness directly through their metabolic activitie...
متن کاملProtein disulfide isomerase mutant lacking its isomerase activity accelerates protein folding in the cell.
We investigated the effect of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) on in vivo protein folding of human lysozyme (h-LZM) in a specially constructed yeast coexpression system. Coexpression with PDI increased the amounts of intracellular h-LZM with the native conformation, leading to an increase in h-LZM secretion. The results indicated that PDI is a real catalyst of protein folding in the cell. The ...
