Tumor 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 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 کاملApoptosis of Breast Cancer Cells Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand to Induce − Factor Synthetic Triterpenoids Cooperate with Tumor Necrosis
Tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL or Apo2L) has been shown to induce apoptosis specifically in cancer cells while sparing normal tissues. Unfortunately not all cancer cells respond to TRAIL; therefore, TRAIL sensitizing agents are currently being explored. We have identified synthetic triterpenoids, including 2-cyano3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO) and i...
متن کاملHuman Dendritic Cells Mediate Cellular Apoptosis via Tumor Necrosis Factor–Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (Trail)
TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) is a member of the TNF family that induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrate that human CD11c(+) blood dendritic cells (DCs) express TRAIL after stimulation with either interferon (IFN)-gamma or -alpha and acquire the ability to kill TRAIL-sensitive tumor cell targets but not TRAIL-resistant tumor cells or normal ...
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...
