Mechanism of XIAP-Mediated Inhibition of Caspase-9 [PDF]
The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins potently inhibit the catalytic activity of caspases. While profound insight into the inhibition of the effector caspases has been gained in recent years, the mechanism of how the initiator caspase-9 is regulated by IAPs remains enigmatic.

Compartmentalized megakaryocyte death generates functional platelets committed to caspase-independent death [PDF]
Caspase-directed apoptosis usually fragments cells, releasing nonfunctional, prothrombogenic, membrane-bound apoptotic bodies marked for rapid engulfment by macrophages.

MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis in vitro induced by dihydromyricetin
To investigate the effect of dihydromyricetin (DMY) induction on MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis and its mechanism, the changes of cell morphological characteristics were observed under inverted microscope.

Inhibitor specificity of recombinant and endogenous caspase-9 [PDF]
Apoptosis triggered through the intrinsic pathway by radiation and anti-neoplastic drugs is initiated by the activation of caspase-9. To elucidate control mechanisms in this pathway we used a range of synthetic and natural reagents. The inhibitory potency of acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde ('Ac-DEVD-CHO'), benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp ...

Caspase‐9 acts as a regulator of necroptotic cell death [PDF]
Necroptosis is a regulated necrotic‐like cell death modality which has come into the focus of attention since it is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and degenerative diseases as well as to tumor regulation. Based on current data, necroptosis serves as a backup mechanism when death receptor‐induced apoptosis is inhibited or ...

Regulation of the Apaf-1–caspase-9 apoptosome [PDF]
Apoptosis is probably not the only form of cell death, but it is currently the only form for which the proteins that constitute the death pathway have been characterized at the structural, biochemical and genetic levels in great detail.

Background Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has emerged as a leading cause of cirrhosis in the U.S. and across the world. To understand the role of apoptotic pathways in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we studied the mRNA and protein expression patterns of ...

Caspase 9 Promoter Polymorphisms (-1263G>A, -905T>G, -712C>T) in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Introduction: Apoptosis has been involved in a number of pathological conditions including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Caspases are important regulators and executioners in both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways.

Deorphanizing Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 Substrates In and Out of Apoptosis with Deep Substrate Profiling. [PDF]
Caspases are a family of enzymes that regulate biological processes such as inflammation and programmed cell death, through proteolysis. For example, in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, cell death signaling involves cytochrome c release from the ...
