The BH3-mimetic ABT-737 effectively kills acute myeloid leukemia initiating cells
The anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-XL and Bcl-2 are abundantly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells and/or progenitor cells. Furthermore, leukemic cells expressing these proteins are enriched in minimal residual disease cell populations.

A caspase-3 'death-switch' in colorectal cancer cells for induced and synchronous tumor apoptosis in vitro and in vivo facilitates the development of minimally invasive cell death biomarkers [PDF]
Novel anticancer drugs targeting key apoptosis regulators have been developed and are undergoing clinical trials. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers to define the optimum dose of drug that provokes tumor apoptosis are in demand; acquisition of longitudinal tumor

Apoptotic cells can induce non-autonomous apoptosis through the TNF pathway
Apoptotic cells can produce signals to instruct cells in their local environment, including ones that stimulate engulfment and proliferation. We identified a novel mode of communication by which apoptotic cells induce additional apoptosis in the same ...

The dogma that antineoplastic treatments kill tumour cells by damaging essential biological functions has been countered by the notion that treatment itself initiates a programmed cellular response. This response often produces the morphological features of apoptosis and is determined by a network of proliferation and survival genes, some of which are ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Smac mimetic compounds (SMCs) are small molecule drugs that sensitize cancer cells to TNF-α-induced cell death and have multiple immunostimulatory effects through alterations in NF-κB signaling.

Accumulation of tissue factor in endothelial cells induces cell apoptosis, mediated through p38 and p53 activation [PDF]
We previously reported that high levels of tissue factor (TF) can induce cellular apoptosis in endothelial. In this study, TF-mediated mechanisms of induction of apoptosis were explored.

APOPTOSIS. THE ROLE OF APOPTOSIS IN CANCERS
Apoptosis is a complex mechanism that is involved at any stage during organism development or in cellular damage. It is triggered by specific external and internal factors such as ultraviolet radiation, hypoxia, growth factors, viruses, and bacteria, which activate the two main pathways: the extrinsic pathway, also known as the death receptor pathway ...
