Role of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in interferon-induced apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells.
Immunomodulators such as Bacillus Calmette-Guerin and interferon are clinically active in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, but their mechanisms of action remain unclear. Here we investigated the effects of IFNalpha on tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) expression and apoptosis in a panel of 20 human bladder cancer cell lines. Six (30%) displayed significa...
متن کاملTunicamycin enhances tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells.
Death receptor 5 (DR5/TRAIL-R2) is an apoptosis-inducing membrane receptor for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L). In this study, we showed that tunicamycin, a naturally occurring antibiotic, is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of DR5 expression. Tunicamycin significantly sensitized PC-3, androgen-independent human prostate ca...
متن کاملGalectin-3 inhibits tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis by activating Akt in human bladder carcinoma cells.
The antiapoptotic molecule galectin-3 was previously shown to regulate CD95, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family of proteins in the apoptotic signaling pathway. Here, we question the generality of the phenomenon by studying a different member of this family of proteins [e.g., TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which induces apoptosis in a wide variety of cancer cells]...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-mediated apoptosis in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been reported to induce cell death in a variety of transformed cells but spared the normal cells. In this study, we examined its potential against advanced prostate cancer cells. Treatment of PC-3 and DU145 cells with TRAIL caused a rapid apoptotic cell death, whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is ineffective unles...
متن کاملRoscovitine sensitizes leukemia and lymphoma cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis.
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a death ligand with selective antitumor activity. However, many primary tumors are TRAIL resistant. Previous studies reported that roscovitine, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, sensitized various solid cancer cells to TRAIL. We show that roscovitine and TRAIL demonstrate synergistic cytotoxicity in hematologic malignant cell...
