Caspase-9, caspase-3 and caspase-7 have distinct roles during intrinsic apoptosis [PDF]
BMC Cell Biology, 2013 BackgroundApoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is regulated by the Bcl-2 family and caspase family of proteins. The caspase cascade responsible for executing cell death following cytochrome c release is well described; however the distinct ...

Caspase 3-specific cleavage of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 48 enhances drug-induced apoptosis in AML [PDF]
Cancer Biology & TherapyDysfunction or dysregulation of deubiquitination is closely related to the initiation and development of multiple cancers. Targeted regulation of deubiquitination has been recognized as an important strategy in tumor therapy.

Low levels of Caspase-3 predict favourable response to 5FU-based chemotherapy in advanced colorectal cancer: Caspase-3 inhibition as a therapeutic approach [PDF]
Cell Death and Disease, 2016 Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the Western world. 5-Fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy (CT) remains the mainstay treatment of CRC in the advanced setting, and activates executioner caspases in target cells.

Miltirone induces GSDME-dependent pyroptosis in colorectal cancer by activating caspase 3 [PDF]
HeliyonColorectal cancer (CRC) is a common and malignant tumor, ranking as the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women. Pyroptosis, a recently described programmed cell death mechanism mediated by the GSDM family, has emerged ...

Uterine Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Its Unfolded Protein Response May Regulate Caspase 3 Activation in the Pregnant Mouse Uterus [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

Apoptosis Regulators Bcl-2 and Caspase-3
Encyclopedia, 2022 Apoptosis, programmed cell death, has a central role in developmental biology and in maintaining the equilibrium of renewing tissues. A founding member of the Bcl-2 family of regulatory proteins for apoptosis is Bcl-2, which is encoded by the BCL2 gene ...

Caspase 3/GSDME-dependent pyroptosis contributes to chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity
Cell Death and Disease, 2021 Chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity limits clinical applications for treating cancers. Pyroptosis, a newly discovered programmed cell death, was recently reported to be associated with kidney diseases.
