Apoptosis: Silencing the death receptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous signaling from death-domain-containing receptors can result in inappropriate cell death. An inhibitory protein has recently been identified, called silencer of death domains (SODD), that binds to the death domain of tumor necrosis factor receptor 1, thereby negatively regulating downstream signaling.

Silencing of prion protein sensitizes breast adriamycin-resistant carcinoma cells to TRAIL-mediated cell death.
We investigated the relationship between the resistance to the proapoptotic action of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) and cellular prion protein (PrPc) function, using the TRAIL-sensitive MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line and two TRAIL-resistant sublines: 2101 and MCF-7/ADR. All of the cell lines tested expressed TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2. TRAIL decoy recep...
متن کاملCaspase-2 can function upstream of bid cleavage in the TRAIL apoptosis pathway.
In many mammalian cell types, engagement of the TRAIL/Apo2L death receptors DR4 and DR5 alters mitochondrial physiology, thereby promoting the release of pro-apoptotic proteins normally contained within this organelle. A contemporary view of this process is that in so-called type II cells death receptor-activated caspase-8 cleaves the Bcl-2 family member Bid, which generates a truncated Bid fra...
متن کاملCaspase-8 regulation of TRAIL-mediated cell death.
Research on TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and TRAIL receptors has advanced tremendously over the past 17 years. Initial observations of TRAIL and TRAIL receptor-mediated tumor cell toxicity led to enthusiasm of exploiting this selective, malignant cell killing for cancer therapy. Further examination revealed aberrant TRAIL signaling in some cancer cells leading to protection fro...
متن کاملDeath receptor regulation and celecoxib-induced apoptosis in human lung cancer cells.
BACKGROUND Celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, has chemopreventive and therapeutic activities toward lung cancer and other epithelial malignancies. Celecoxib can induce apoptosis in various cancer cell lines through a mechanism that is independent of its cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitory activity but is otherwise largely uncharacterized. We investigated the mechanism of celecoxib-induced apoptos...
متن کاملIonizing Radiation Induction of Apoptosis in TRAIL Resistant Cancer Cells
TRAIL mediated signaling has gained tremendous appreciation because of its ability to selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells and leaving non-cancer cells intact. Data obtained through increasingly sophisticated laboratory methodologies, is deepening our understanding about intracellular signaling modulators of TRAIL. It is now well established that there are wide ranging regulators of TRA...
