Fucoxanthin Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid isolated from brown seaweeds, induces suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus considered for the treatment or prevention of malignancy. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cell, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the er...
متن کاملEfavirenz Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz utilized for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection, triggers suicidal cell death or apoptosis, an effect in part due to interference with mitochondrial potential. Side effects of efavirenz include anemia. Causes of anemia include accelerated clearance of circulating erythrocytes. Even though lacking mitochon...
متن کاملClofazimine Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The antimycobacterial riminophenazine clofazimine has previously been shown to up-regulate cellular phospholipase A2 and to induce apoptosis. In erythrocytes phospholipase A2 stimulates eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the erythrocyte surface. Phospholipase A2 is in par...
متن کاملLapatinib Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The human epidermal growth factor receptors tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib has been shown to trigger suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus used for the treatment of malignancy. Side effects of lapatinib include anemia, which could, at least in theory, result from stimulation of eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes which is characterized by cell shr...
متن کاملSaquinavir Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The antiretroviral protease inhibitor saquinavir is used for the treatment of HIV infections. Effects of saquinavir include induction of apoptosis, the suicidal death of nucleated cells. Saquinavir treatment may further lead to anemia. In theory, anemia could result from accelerated erythrocyte loss by enhanced suicidal erythrocyte death or eryptosis, which is characterized by c...
