Peptide drug cortexin inhibits brain caspase-8 [PDF]

Biomeditsinskaya Khimiya, 2017
Cortexin, a drug containing hydrolyzed brain peptides, has long been used in clinics, but the mechanisms of its action remain obscure. We have hypothesized that cortexin-related neuroprotection is associated with the ability of the drug to inhibit brain proteases. Cortexin effectively inhibited brain caspase-8, while its effects on caspase-1, -3, -9,

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Glutathione peroxidase 8 negatively regulates caspase‐4/11 to protect against colitis

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019
Human caspase‐4 and its mouse homolog caspase‐11 are receptors for cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide. Activation of the caspase‐4/11‐dependent NLRP3 inflammasome is required for innate defense and endotoxic shock, but how caspase‐4/11 is modulated remains ...

Dammarenediol II enhances etoposide‐induced apoptosis by targeting O‐GlcNAc transferase and Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling in liver cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Etoposide induces DNA damage, activating p53‐dependent apoptosis via caspase‐3/7, which cleaves PARP1. Dammarenediol II enhances this apoptotic pathway by suppressing O‐GlcNAc transferase activity, further decreasing O‐GlcNAcylation. The reduction in O‐GlcNAc levels boosts p53‐driven apoptosis and influences the Akt/GSK3β/mTOR signaling pathway ...

Acanthopagrus schlegelii FADD and caspase-8 are involved in the regulation of apoptosis and inflammation

Animal Advances
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a farmed fish with significant economic value in China. Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and caspase-8 are related to apoptosis and inflammation; however, the specific functions of FADD and caspase-8 in A ...

The PI3Kδ inhibitor roginolisib (IOA‐244) preserves T‐cell function and activity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Identification of novel PI3K inhibitors with limited immune‐related adverse effects is highly sought after. We found that roginolisib and idelalisib inhibit chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells and Treg suppressive functions to similar extents, but roginolisib affects cytotoxic T‐cell function and promotion of pro‐inflammatory T helper subsets to a

Cyprinid Herpesvirus 2 miR-C12 Attenuates Virus-Mediated Apoptosis and Promotes Virus Propagation by Targeting Caspase 8

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
DNA viruses, most notably members of the herpesvirus family, generally encode miRNAs to mediate both virus and host genes expression. We previously demonstrated that Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) encodes 17 miRNAs that are involved in innate immune ...

The Drosophila DIAP1 protein is required to prevent accumulation of a continuously generated, processed form of the apical caspase DRONC [PDF]

, 2002
Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (LAP) protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation is ...
