Cell death induction by Streptococcus pyogenes in four types of malignant cell lines
Abstract Background: The interest in using bacteria as anti- cancer therapeutic agents dates back to the end of the19th century. Some bacteria like Salmonella and Listeria replicate effectively inside malignant cell lines and suppress their growth. The bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes has become medically famous as a flesh-eating pathogen since mid-1980s. It is the causative agent of a life...
متن کاملAnti-Ma2 antibody related paraneoplastic limbic/brain stem encephalitis associated with breast cancer expressing Ma1, Ma2, and Ma3 mRNAs.
A 69 year old woman presented with cognitive impairment and supranuclear gaze palsy caused by paraneoplastic limbic/brain stem encephalitis associated with atypical medullary breast carcinoma. The cerebrospinal fluid from the patient harboured an anti-neuronal cell antibody against Ma2 antigen, but not against Ma1 or Ma3 antigen. Despite the antibody being restricted to the Ma2 antigen, the pat...
متن کاملInduction of cell death by radiotherapy.
Ionising radiation remains one of the most effective tools in the therapy of cancer. It combines the properties of an extremely efficient DNA-damaging agent with a high degree of spatial specificity. Nonetheless, there remain considerable differences in the outcome for treatment of tumours of differing histological type treated by radiotherapy. Tumours arising from lymphoid or germ cells are si...
متن کاملInduction of apoptotic cell death by putrescine.
The polyamines are essential for cellular growth and differentiation. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), which catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of the polyamines, has a very fast turnover and is subject to a strong feedback control by the polyamines. In the present study, we show that overexpression of a metabolically stable ODC in CHO cells induced a massive cell death unless the cells...
متن کاملInduction of cell death by hydrophobic hydrocarbons.
We present a novel and simple method for inducing cell death. Cells placed in contact with paraffin or other hydrophobic-hydrocarbon substances die. Cell death can be the result of apoptosis, which is also known as programmed cell death (PCD). In apoptosis, cells shrink and undergo both disintegration of the nucleoli and nuclear fragmentation (2). In necrosis, cells swell and disintegrate. Apop...
