Virology Journal, 2012 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 ...

Mechanism of zinc‐mediated inhibition of caspase‐9 [PDF]
Protein Science, 2012 AbstractZinc‐mediated inhibition is implicated in global caspase regulation, with relief of zinc‐mediated inhibition central to both small‐molecule and natively induced caspase activation. As an initiator, caspase‐9 regulates the upstream stages of the apoptotic caspase cascade, making it a critical control point.

Engineering a dimeric caspase-9: a re-evaluation of the induced proximity model for caspase activation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 Caspases are responsible for the execution of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and must undergo proteolytic activation, in response to apoptotic stimuli, to function.

Beneficial role of allicin from garlic in cervical cancer [PDF]
, 2008 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.

Inhibitor specificity of recombinant and endogenous caspase-9 [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2002 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 ...

Mathematical modeling of the formation of apoptosome in intrinsic pathway of apoptosis [PDF]
, 2008 Caspase-9 is the protease that mediates the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, a type of cell death. Activation of caspase-9 is a multi-step process that requires dATP or ATP and involves at least two proteins, cytochrome c and Apaf-1.

Caspase-9 Can Be Activated without Proteolytic Processing [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 The recombinant form of the proapoptotic caspase-9 purified following expression in Escherichia coli is processed at Asp315, but largely inactive; however, when added to cytosolic extracts of human 293 cells it is activated 2000-fold in the presence of cytochrome c and dATP.

A Rapamycin-Activated Caspase 9-Based Suicide Gene [PDF]
Molecular Therapy, 2018 Engineered T cell therapies show considerable promise in the treatment of refractory malignancies. Given the ability of engineered T cells to engraft and persist for prolonged periods along with unpredicted toxicities, incorporation of a suicide gene to allow selective depletion after administration is desirable.

Cells, 2012 Persistent cell shrinkage is a major hallmark of apoptotic cell death. The early-phase shrinkage, which starts within 30−120 min after apoptotic stimulation and is called apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), is known to be accomplished by activation of K ...

Caspase 9 Promoter Polymorphisms (-1263G>A, -905T>G, -712C>T) in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020 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.
