چکیده

Previous studies have demonstrated that apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is up-regulated in many forms of malignant tumors and low levels of ARC protein were expressed in normal human brain tissue. Little is known expression of ARC in glioma. Here, we found that ARC protein was highly expressed in primary human glioma when compared with normal brain tissues. A decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis were observed in U251MG cells after ARC was knocked down. Knockdown of ARC was confirmed by western blotting. Knockdown of ARC promoted caspase-8, caspase-3 activation and Bax accumulation. These results indicate that ARC has a anti-apoptosis function in glioma.

Interplay of Phosphorylated Apoptosis Repressor with CARD, Casein Kinase-2 and Reactive Oxygen Species in Regulating Endothelin-1–Induced Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy

Objective(s):  The role of the Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) in apoptosis and in certain hypertrophic responses has been previously investigated, but its regulation of Endothelin-1 induced cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. The present study discusses the inhibitory role of ARC against endothelin–induced hypertrophy. Results:In present study Endothelin treated car...

Apoptosis inhibitor ARC promotes breast tumorigenesis, metastasis, and chemoresistance.

Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) inhibits both death receptor- and mitochondrial/ER-mediated pathways of apoptosis. Although expressed mainly in terminally differentiated cells, ARC is markedly upregulated in a variety of human cancers, where its potential contributions have not yet been defined. In this study, we provide evidence of multiple critical pathophysiologic f...

Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain contributes to chemotherapy resistance by abolishing mitochondrial fission mediated by dynamin-related protein-1.

One obstacle of cancer therapy is the development of cancer resistance to chemotherapy. The molecular mechanisms by which the resistance is developed remain to be fully understood. Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is an endogenous antiapoptotic protein. Here, we report that ARC contributes to chemotherapy resistance by abolishing mitochondrial fission mediated by dynami...

CK2 inhibits apoptosis and changes its cellular localization following ionizing radiation.

In this study, we show that CK2 (casein kinase II, CKII) participates in apoptotic responses following ionizing radiation (IR). Using HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells, we find that transfection of small interfering RNA against the CK2 alpha and/or alpha' catalytic subunits results in enhanced apoptosis following IR damage as measured by flow cytometry techniques, compared with a control smal...

Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain enhances survival and promotes osteogenic differentiation of human osteoblast cells under Zoledronate treatment

Zoledronate is one of the most potent nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates which has been demonstrated to result in osteoblast apoptosis and impact osteogenic differentiation in vitro. This effect of Zoledronate on osteoblasts may partially explain bisphosphonate‑associated osteonecrosis of the jaw, a serious complication associated with treatment with bisphosphonates. Apoptosis repressor with c...
