1081 - Signal Transduction Pathway and Apoptosis in Bacteria-infected Chondrocytes
Introduction In joints with bacterial arthritis, continuing prolonged destruction of cartilage may occur in spite of prompt and effective antibiotic therapy. Synovial and systemic upregulation of cytokine mRNA expression during Staphylococcus aureus arthritis has been demonstrated by in situ hybridization. Bacterial toxins and cytokines are known inducers of apoptosis, which might be responsibl...
متن کاملExtrinsic and Intrinsic Apoptosis Signal Pathway Review
Apoptosis, as a programmed cell death (PCD) is essential for normal cell mechanism. The word “Apoptosis” derives from Greek language “απόπτωσις” and means trees shedding their leaves in autumn, which describes the "dropping off" or "falling off" of petals from flowers, or leaves from trees. This language imaginarily described the cell death triggered by physiological and pathological stimulatio...
متن کاملSignal transduction: Wnt signalling shows its versatility
Signalling between cells plays a major role in the elaboration of cell types and tissues, triggering cell fate decisions that are critical in development. A number of pathways have been identified that appear time and again in different contexts. One good example is the pathway that first came to light with the identification of wingless mutant fruitflies. The Drosophila Wingless protein is now...
متن کاملThe Canonical Wnt Signaling (Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway): A Potential Target for Cancer Prevention and Therapy
Precise regulation of signal transduction pathways is crucial for normal animal development and for maintaining cellular and tissue homeostasis in adults. The Wnt/Frizzled-mediated signaling includes canonical and non-canonical signal transduction pathways. Upregulation or downregulation of the canonical Wnt-signaling (or the Wnt/β-Catenin signal transduction) leads to a variety of human diseas...
متن کاملWIF-1 gene inhibition and Wnt signal transduction pathway activation in NSCLC tumorigenesis
The aim of the present study is to explore the differential expression of key molecules associated with Wnt signaling in both clinical non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and adjacent normal lung tissue, and to discuss the tumorigenic role of the activation of Wnt signaling pathways in NSCLC. A total of 52 NSCLC patients were employed in the present study. Lung cancer tissue samples and p...
