A Single Dose of Atorvastatin Applied Acutely after Spinal Cord Injury Suppresses Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Promotes Axon Outgrowth, Which Might Be Essential for Favorable Functional Outcome. [PDF]

, 2018
The aim of our study was to limit the inflammatory response after a spinal cord injury (SCI) using Atorvastatin (ATR), a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis.

Large-scale preparation of active caspase-3 in by designing its thrombin-activatable precursors [PDF]

, 2008
Background Caspase-3, a principal apoptotic effector that cleaves the majority of cellular substrates, is an important medicinal target for the treatment of cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Apoptosis in prostate carcinoma tissue: The role of caspase-3, caspase-1, and alkaline DNase activity [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: Prostate glandular tissue maintains a delicate balance between cellular proliferation and programmed cell death (apoptosis), ensuring the preservation of normal glandular architecture in healthy individuals.

Post-translational deregulation of YAP1 is genetically controlled in rat liver cancer and determines the fate and stem-like behavior of the human disease [PDF]

, 2016
Previous studies showed that YAP1 is over-expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we observed higher expression of Yap1/Ctgf axis in dysplastic nodules and HCC chemically-induced in F344 rats, genetically susceptible to hepatocarcinogenesis ...

Identification of caspase 3 motifs and critical aspartate residues in human Phospholipase D1b and Phopsholipase D2a [PDF]

, 2008
Stimulation of mammalian cells frequently initiates phospholipase D-catalysed hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in the plasma membrane to yield phosphatidic acid (PA) a novel lipid messenger.

Platelet microparticles contain active caspase 3

Platelets, 2008
During storage, platelets undergo processes resembling apoptosis, including microparticle release, aminophospholipid exposure, and procaspase 3 processing. Recently, we showed that microparticles from endothelial cells contain caspase 3, one of the executioner enzymes of apoptosis.

Caspase-3 Promotes Genetic Instability and Carcinogenesis [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2015
Apoptosis is typically considered an anti-oncogenic process since caspase activation can promote the elimination of genetically unstable or damaged cells. We report that a central effector of apoptosis, caspase-3, facilitates rather than suppresses chemical- and radiation-induced genetic instability and carcinogenesis.

Overexpression of caspase-3 in hepatocellular carcinomas [PDF]

Modern Pathology, 2004
Caspase-3 is a downstream effector cysteine protease in the apoptotic pathway. It is ubiquitously expressed in normal human tissues including the liver. Overexpression and loss of expression of caspase-3 has been reported in diverse human malignancies. However, expression of caspase-3 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been studied.

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...
