BAX enhances paclitaxel-induced apoptosis through a p53-independent pathway.
To investigate the role of BAX in chemotherapy-induced apoptosis, we transfected the SW626 human ovarian cancer cell line, which lacks functional p53, with a cDNA encoding for murine BAX. Immunoblotting revealed that BAX transfectants expressed a mean of 10-fold increased levels of BAX compared with neo-transfected control clones, with similar levels of BCL-2 and BCL-xL. The cytotoxicity of pac...
متن کاملSynergistic Effects of Arsenic Trioxide and Radiation: Triggering the Intrinsic Pathway of Apoptosis
Background: Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been reported as an effective anti-cancer and a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for treatment of some cancers. The aim of this study is to determine the underlying apoptosis molecular and cellular mechanisms of ATO in the presence or absence of ionizing radiation (IR) in vitro in the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cell line, U87MG. Metho...
متن کاملCisplatin-induced apoptosis in p53-deficient renal cells via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.
Nephrotoxicity is the major limiting factor for the use of cisplatin in cancer therapy. Recent studies have demonstrated an important role for p53 in cisplatin-induced renal injury. Nevertheless, pharmacological and genetic blockade of p53 only provides partial renoprotective effects, suggesting the presence of p53-independent injury mechanisms. To understand the p53-independent mechanisms, we ...
متن کاملA BAX/BAK and Cyclophilin D-Independent Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway
Most intrinsic death signals converge into the activation of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family members BAX and BAK at the mitochondria, resulting in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosome activation. Chronic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress leads to apoptosis through the upregulation of a subset of pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins, activating BAX and BAK at the mitochondria. Here we provide eviden...
متن کاملCyclic AMP-induced p53 Destabilization is Independent of CREB in pre-B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells
Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...
