Cholesterol induces autophagic and apoptotic death in gastric carcinoma cells.
Despite conflicting results, there is evidence to suggest an inverse link between total body cholesterol levels and the risk of certain malignancies. Based on previous reports, this phenomenon appears to vary with cancer site, and, in particular, more consistent data on inverse relations was reported in the risk of gastric cancer. In the current study, the effect of cholesterol on gastric cance...
متن کاملmTOR inhibitor RAD001 (everolimus) induces apoptotic, not autophagic cell death, in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a key element in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. Moreover, it is a negative regulator of autophagy and acts as a central regulator in cell growth. For the treatment of cancer, mTOR is a novel and validated therapeutic target. Previous studies have shown that Akt is fr...
متن کاملEndostatin induces autophagic cell death in EAhy926 human endothelial cells.
Endostatin, a proteolytic fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis and suppresses neovascularization and tumor growth. However, the inhibitory mechanism of endostatin in human endothelial cells has not been characterized yet. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that endostatin induced formation of numerous autophagic vacuoles in endothelial in 6 to 24 h after treatme...
متن کاملSilibinin induces apoptosis via calpain-dependent AIF nuclear translocation in U87MG human glioma cell death
BACKGROUND Silibinin, a natural polyphenolic flavonoid, has been reported to induce cell death in various cancer cell types. However, the molecular mechanism is not clearly defined. Our previous study showed that silibinin induces glioma cell death and its effect was effectively prevented by calpain inhibitor. The present study was therefore undertaken to examine the role of calpain in the sili...
متن کاملCyclosporine A Induces Apoptotic and Autophagic Cell Death in Rat Pituitary GH3 Cells
Cyclosporine A (CsA) is a powerful immunosuppressive drug with side effects including the development of chronic nephrotoxicity. In this study, we investigated CsA treatment induced apoptotic and autophagic cell death in pituitary GH3 cells. CsA treatment (0.1 to 10 µM) decreased survival of GH3 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Cell viability decreased significantly with increasing CsA concent...
