The tail-anchoring domain of Bfl1 and HCCS1 targets mitochondrial membrane permeability to induce apoptosis.
Many Bcl2 family proteins target intracellular membranes by their C-terminal tail-anchor domain. Bfl1 is a bi-functional Bcl2 family protein with both anti- and pro-apoptotic activities and contains an amphipathic tail-anchoring peptide (ATAP; residues 147-175) with unique properties. Here we show that ATAP targets specifically to mitochondria, and induces caspase-dependent apoptosis that does ...
متن کاملPotent anti-hepatoma efficacy of HCCS1 via dual tumor-targeting gene-virotherapy strategy.
We previously demonstrated that hepatocellular carcinoma suppressor 1 (HCCS1) exerts potent anti-tumor activity. In this study, we constructed a new dual tumor-targeting oncolytic adenovirus vector, PD55-HCCS1, in which E1A was driven by the promoter of progression elevated gene-3, which is hepatoma-specific, and a CMV-HCCS1 expression cassette replaced E1B55. The PD55-HCCS1-mediated selective ...
متن کاملP-117: Methamphetamine Can Induce Sperm Chromatin Abnormality and Apoptosis in Mice
Background: It is showed that methamphetamine has harmful effects on male reproductive system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of methamphetamine administration on testis weight, sperm count, sperm morphology, and chromatin status as well as sperm apoptotis followed by the cytochemical tests in a mouse model. Materials and Methods: Twenty four NMRI male mice were divided in...
متن کاملEconazole Nitrate Induces Apoptosis in MCF-7 Cells via Mitochondrial and Caspase Pathways
Econazole nitrate (EN), a synthetic compound, is now in use as a routine antifungal drug. EN was shown to have antitumor effect, the tumor cell killing mechanisms, however, remain unclear. In this research, the apoptosis-inducing effect of EN on MCF-7 cells was investigated. The results showed that EN inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner by MTT method ...
