Title: Igf-i Activates Caspases 3/7, 8 and 9 but Does Not Induce Cell Death in Colorectal Cancer Cells
This revision is a marked improvement on the previous versions. However, one outstanding issue needs to be resolved. MAJOR COMPULSORY REVISIONS 1. The IGF-I receptor antibody is not identified. The source company, Abcam, list 19 antibodies raised in 4 different species. The rabbit IgG used as a control is only appropriate if the IGF-I receptor antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antiserum. MINOR CO...
متن کاملRole of Caspases and Reactive Oxygen Species in Rose Bengal-Induced Toxicity in Melanoma Cells
Objective We have previously shown that Rose Bengal (RB) alone, not as a photosensitiser, could induce apoptotic- and non-apoptotic cell death in different melanoma cell lines. To clarify RB-induced toxicity mechanisms, role of caspases and reactive oxygen specious (ROS) were studied in melanoma cells. Material and Methods Human melanoma cell lines, Me 4405 and Sk-Mel-28 were cultured in DM...
متن کاملRole of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 in 1, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin-D3-Induced Breast Cancer Cell Apoptosis
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is implicated in breast cancer development and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1, 25-D3) has been shown to attenuate prosurvival effects of IGF-I on breast cancer cells. In this study the role of IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in 1, 25-D3-induced apoptosis was investigated using parental MCF-7 breast cancer cells and MCF-7/VD(R) cells, which are resistant to the...
متن کاملI-7: Maternal Signalling to the Placenta
Background: Though it is well established that maternal blood-borne signals influence highly the growth of the placenta, the mechanisms are not known. In vitro trophoblast culture models are limited by an inability to reconstruct the polarised bilayer of the human hemochorial placenta. We have used a first trimester villous tissue explant system to investigate how growth factors interact with p...
متن کاملSynthetic triterpenoid cyano enone of methyl boswellate activates intrinsic, extrinsic, and endoplasmic reticulum stress cell death pathways in tumor cell lines.
We explored the effect of a novel synthetic triterpenoid compound cyano enone of methyl boswellates (CEMB) on various prostate cancer and glioma cancer cell lines. CEMB displayed concentration-dependent cytotoxic activity with submicromolar lethal dose 50% (LD(50)) values in 10 of 10 tumor cell lines tested. CEMB-induced cytotoxicity is accompanied by activation of downstream effector caspases ...
