Uterine Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Its Unfolded Protein Response May Regulate Caspase 3 Activation in the Pregnant Mouse Uterus [PDF]
We have previously proposed that uterine caspase-3 may modulate uterine contractility in a gestationally regulated fashion. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanism by which uterine caspase-3 is activated and consequently controlled in ...

Downregulation of Caspase 8 in a group of Iranian breast cancer patients – A pilot study
Purpose: It is now well known that evading apoptosis, as a cancer hallmark, can lead to tumour initiation, progression and metastasis. As a result of genome wide association studies, an initiator protease in this pathway, caspase 8 (CASP8), has been ...

Caspase‐8 Variant G Regulates Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocyte Aggressive Behavior
Objective Fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) play a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by contributing to synovial inflammation and progressive joint damage. An imprinted epigenetic state is associated with the FLS aggressive phenotype.

Activation of caspases-8 and -10 by FLIPL [PDF]
The first step in caspase activation is transition of the latent zymogen to an active form. For the initiator caspases, this occurs through dimerization of monomeric zymogens at an activating complex. Recent studies have suggested that FLIPL [FLICE-like inhibitory protein, long form; FLICE is FADD (Fas-associated death domain protein)-like interleukin ...

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) expanding from the retina to the brain are primary victims of neurodegeneration in glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness; however, the neighboring astroglia survive the glaucoma-related stress and promote neuroinflammation.

Western blot of pro- and cleaved caspase-3 [ratio to ß-actin]. Shown are representative blots separated by location of lung tissue sampling (contusion site, ipsilateral control, and contralateral control). Lung tissue samples were homogenized, separated,

Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Death-effector deoxyribonucleosides do not trigger cleavage of pro-caspase-8 in human macrophages.
Immunoblotting of lysates obtained from dAdo- or dGuo-exposed wild-type U937 MΦ with caspase-8- and GAPDH-specific antibodies (α-CASP8 and α-GAPDH, respectively). Controls are indicated. GAPDH was used as a loading control.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
