Caspase 3 in breast cancer.
PURPOSE An inability to undergo apoptosis is widely thought to contribute to both tumorigenesis and tumor progression. One of the key mediators of apoptosis is the thiol protease caspase 3. In this investigation, caspase 3 mRNA and protein expression in breast cancer was examined. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Caspase 3 was measured at the mRNA level using reverse transcription-PCR and at the protein l...
متن کاملp38-MAPK Signals Survival by Phosphorylation of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in Human Neutrophils
Neutrophil apoptosis occurs both in the bloodstream and in the tissue and is considered essential for the resolution of an inflammatory process. Here, we show that p38-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) associates to caspase-8 and caspase-3 during neutrophil apoptosis and that p38-MAPK activity, previously shown to be a survival signal in these primary cells, correlates with the levels of ...
متن کاملMetalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8.
Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in vitro settings. Numerous publications characterize the role of the heme-catabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in regulating apoptotic process...
متن کاملCaspase 3 is activated through caspase 8 instead of caspase 9 during H2O2-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells.
Oxidative stress is known to be involved in a variety of pathological processes including atherosclerosis, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding how intracellular signaling pathways respond to oxidative stress will have a significant implication in the therapy of these diseases. In this study, we applied hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) to trigger apoptosis and investigated the dy...
متن کاملLoss of caspase-1 and caspase-3 protein expression in human prostate cancer.
Activation of the caspase cascade is involved in the execution of apoptosis in a variety of cellular systems. Recent studies demonstrated that caspase-1 activation was required for human prostate cancer cells to undergo apoptosis in response to transforming growth factor-beta (Y. Guo and N. Kyprianou, Cancer Res., 59: 1366-1371, 1999). In the present study, to identify the significance of caspa...
