Caspase-8 association with the focal adhesion complex promotes tumor cell migration and metastasis [PDF]
Caspase-8 is a proapoptotic protease that suppresses neuroblastoma metastasis by inducing programmed cell death. Paradoxically, caspase-8 can also promote cell migration among nonapoptotic cells; here, we show that caspase-8 can promote metastasis when ...

TNF-α contributes to sarcopenia through caspase-8/caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis
Sarcopenia has become a leading cause of disability and mortality in the elderly. It has been reported that programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with the development of sarcopenia that is characterized by reduction of muscle fiber size and number ...

Spatio-temporal activation of caspase-8 in myeloid cells upon ischemic stroke [PDF]
Ischemic stroke (caused by thrombosis, embolism or vasoconstriction) lead to the recruitment and activation of immune cells including resident microglia and infiltrating peripheral macrophages, which contribute to an inflammatory response involved in ...

Beneficial role of allicin from garlic in cervical cancer [PDF]
Introduction: Cervical cancer remains a global health concern for females. Thus, in order to control cervical cancer, attempts are being made by researchers globally to somehow induce programmed cell death in the said cancerous cells.

Glucocorticoids promote thymocyte apoptosis and modulate transcription of numerous regulators of thymic apoptosis. Among these, glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is strongly upregulated in the thymus.

A mutation in caspase-9 decreases the expression of BAFFR and ICOS in patients with immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferation [PDF]
Lymphocyte apoptosis is mainly induced by either death receptor-dependent activation of caspase-8 or mitochondria-dependent activation of caspase-9. Mutations in caspase-8 lead to autoimmunity/lymphoproliferation and immunodeficiency. This work describes

Tyrosine Phosphorylation of Caspase-8 Abrogates Its Apoptotic Activity and Promotes Activation of c-Src. [PDF]
Src family tyrosine kinases (SFKs) phosphorylate caspase-8A at tyrosine (Y) 397 resulting in suppression of apoptosis. In addition, the phosphorylation of caspase-8A at other sites including Y465 has been implicated in the regulation of caspase-8 ...

Caspase-8 is a unique member of caspases with a dual role in cell death and survival. Caspase-8 expression is often lost in some tumors, but increased in others, indicating a potential pro-survival function in cancer.

Caspase-8 functions as a key mediator of inflammation and pro-IL-1β processing via both canonical and non-canonical pathways. [PDF]
Caspase-8 is an apical component of cell death pathways. Activated caspase-8 can drive classical caspase-dependent apoptosis and actively inhibits cell death mediated by RIPK3-driven necroptosis.
