Gatifloxacin inducing apoptosis of stromal fibroblasts through cross-talk between caspase-dependent extrinsic and intrinsic pathways [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019
AIM: To reveal the cytotoxicity and related mechanisms of gatifloxacin (GFX) to stromal fibroblasts (SFs) in vitro. METHODS: SFs were treated with GFX at different concentrations (0.009375%-0.3%), and their viability was detected by MTT method. The cell

Caspase‐8: A key protein of cross‐talk signal way in “PANoptosis” in cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, 2021
Cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase (Caspase)‐8 has long been considered a promoter of apoptosis and part of the mechanism by which cytotoxic drugs kill cancer cells.

Inhibition of the Unfolded Protein Response by Ricin A-Chain Enhances Its Cytotoxicity in Mammalian Cells

open access: yesToxins, 2011
Ricin is a highly toxic type II ribosome-inactivating protein that has potential as a biochemical weapon and as the toxic component of immunotoxins. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a survival response that helps cells to recover from endoplasmic ...

AIM2 recognizes cytosolic dsDNA and forms a caspase-1 activating inflammasome with ASC

open access: yesNature, 2009
The innate immune system senses nucleic acids by germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors. RNA is sensed by Toll-like receptor members TLR3, TLR7 and TLR8, or by the RNA helicases RIG-I (also known as DDX58) and MDA-5 (IFIH1). Little is known about

Garcinol A Novel Inhibitor of Platelet Activation and Apoptosis

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Garcinol, an anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic polyisoprenylated benzophenone isolated from Garcinia plants, stimulates tumor cell apoptosis and suicidal erythrocyte death, but supports the survival of hepatocytes and neurons.

Gasdermin pores permeabilize mitochondria to augment caspase-3 activation during apoptosis and inflammasome activation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Gasdermin E (GSDME/DFNA5) cleavage by caspase-3 liberates the GSDME-N domain, which mediates pyroptosis by forming pores in the plasma membrane.
