Amorphous alumina nanowire array efficiently delivers Ac-DEVD-CHO to inhibit apoptosis of dendritic cells.

چکیده
To create an effective well-ordered delivery platform still remains a challenge. Herein we fabricate vertically aligned alumina nanowire arrays via atomic layer deposition templated by carbon nanotubes. Using these arrays, a caspase-3/7 inhibitor was delivered into DC 2.4 cells and blocked apoptosis, as confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.

Bcl-2△21 and Ac-DEVD-CHO Inhibit Death of Wheat Microspores
Microspore cell death and low green plant production efficiency are an integral obstacle in the development of doubled haploid production in wheat. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of anti-apoptotic recombinant human B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2△21) and caspase-3-inhibitor (Ac-DEVD-CHO) in microspore cell death in bread wheat cultivars AC Fielder and AC Andrew. Induction med...
متن کاملInhibition of caspase-3 improves contractile recovery of stunned myocardium, independent of apoptosis-inhibitory effects.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate whether the caspase-3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO functionally improves stunned myocardium. BACKGROUND Degradation of troponin I contributes to the pathogenesis of myocardial stunning, whereas the role of apoptosis is unknown. Caspase-3 is an essential apoptotic protease that is specifically inhibited by Ac-DEVD-CHO. METHODS Isolated working hea...
متن کاملEffect of Caspase Inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO on Apoptosis of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Induced by Artesunate
Numerous studies have shown that the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells play a key role in restenosis. Artesunate is a triterpenoid with a peroxide structure and its antimalarial, antitumor, and antiangiogenetic activities can inhibit the proliferation and apoptosis of multifarious cells. Apoptosis is caused by the activation of a series of intracellular proteolytic enz...
متن کاملCocaine-mediated apoptosis in bovine coronary artery endothelial cells: role of nitric oxide.
The present study examined the role of nitric oxide in cocaine-induced apoptosis in bovine coronary artery endothelial cells (BCAECs). Cocaine produced a time-dependent decrease in cell viability and an increase in apoptosis in BCAECs, which were blocked by the nitric oxide donors DETA-NONOate (DETA-NO) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine. In accordance, cocaine decreased nitric oxide producti...
متن کاملUVC-induced apoptosis in human epithelial tumor A431 cells: sequence of apoptotic changes and involvement of caspase (-8 and -3) cascade.
Human epidermoid tumor A431 cells underwent apoptosis following exposure to ultraviolet C (UVC). The apoptosis was of the interphase death type, and mostly occurred within one cell cycle, independent of the cell-cycle phases. We further examined the detailed sequential order of apoptotic changes in cells after UVC exposure and the involvement of caspases using six caspase inhibitors. The loss o...
