An Antimicrobial Peptidomimetic Induces Mucorales Cell Death through Mitochondria-Mediated Apoptosis
The incidence of mucormycosis has dramatically increased in immunocompromised patients. Moreover, the array of cellular targets whose inhibition results in fungal cell death is rather limited. Mitochondria have been mechanistically identified as central regulators of detoxification and virulence in fungi. Our group has previously designed and developed a proteolytically-resistant peptidomimetic...
متن کاملGlucose Deprivation Induces ATF4-Mediated Apoptosis through TRAIL Death Receptors
Metabolic stress occurs frequently in tumors and in normal tissues undergoing transient ischemia. Nutrient deprivation triggers, among many potential cell death-inducing pathways, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response with the induction of the integrated stress response transcription factor ATF4. However, how this results in cell death remains unknown. Here we show that glucose deprivat...
متن کاملTaraxerol Induces Cell Apoptosis through A Mitochondria-Mediated Pathway in HeLa Cells
OBJECTIVES Taraxerol acetate has potent anti-cancer effects via the induction of apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest, and inhibition of cell migration. However, whether taraxerol induced apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms of action is not clear. In the present study, we assess the effects of taraxerol on the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and determine the release of cytochrome c to t...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated decorin expression induces cancer cell death through activation of p53 and mitochondrial apoptosis
Decorin (DCN) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that plays an important role in the regulation of apoptosis, proliferation, intercellular contact, and cell migration. Here we have investigated the detailed mechanism of apoptotic cell death induced by DCN expression. A marked increase in cytotoxicity was observed for both DCN-expressing replication-incompetent (dE1/DCN) and -competent (dB/DCN...
متن کاملUmbelliprenin Induces Apoptosis in CLL Cell Lines
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains an incurable disease that requires innovative new approaches to improve therapeutic outcome. Many Ferula species, including F. asa-foetida, synthesize terpenyloxy coumarins. One of these coumarins is umbelliprenin, which has been implicated with induction of apoptosis in some cancer cell lines. In this study induction of apoptosis by umbellipre...
