Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8 [PDF]
Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in ...

The role of cytochrome c in caspase activation in Drosophila melanogaster cells [PDF]
The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is necessary for the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome and subsequent activation of caspase-9 in mammalian cells.

Raptor hunted by caspases [PDF]
Emergence of survival strategies is a key step for organisms during evolution. The capacity to adapt from nutrient-rich to nutrient-poor environments led to the appearance of protein complexes regulating anabolic and catabolic pathways. The evolutionarily conserved kinase mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) emerged as a crucial and central protein ...

TRAIL/Apo-2L: Mechanisms and Clinical Applications in Cancer
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/APO2L) is a member of the TNF family that promotes apoptosis by binding to the transmembrane receptors TRAIL-R1 /DR4 and TRAIL-R2/DR5.

Heat-shock pretreatment inhibits sorbitol-induced apoptosis in K562, U937 and HeLa cells. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine whether heat-shock pretreatment exerted a protective effect against sorbitol-induced apoptotic cell death in K562, U937 and HeLa cell lines and whether such protection was associated with a decreased cytochrome c

Pramanicin induces apoptosis in Jurkat leukemia cells; a role for JNK, p38 and caspase activation [PDF]
Pramanicin is a novel anti-fungal drug with a wide range of potential application against human diseases. It has been previously shown that pramanicin induces cell death and increases calcium levels in vascular endothelial cells. In the present study, we

Caspase Activation by Anticancer Drugs: The Caspase Storm
This study measures the time-dependence of cellular caspase activation by anticancer drugs and compares it with that of cellular respiration. Intracellular caspase activation and cellular respiration were measured during continuous exposure of Jurkat, HL-60, and HL-60/MX2 (deficient in topoisomerase-II) cells to dactinomycin, doxorubicin, and the ...
