Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Molecules, 2019 Caspase 8 is a central player in the apoptotic cell death pathway and is also essential for cytokine processing. The critical role of this protease in cell death pathways has generated research interest because its activation has also been linked with ...

A matter of life and death for caspase 8 [PDF]
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2019 Catalytically inactive caspase 8 can activate pyroptosis when apoptosis and necroptosis are blocked, a potential line of defence against viruses that inhibit cell death.

Caspase 8 and caspase 9 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to gastric cancer [PDF]
Gastric Cancer, 2011 Caspase-8 (CASP8) and caspase-9 (CASP9) play crucial roles in regulating apoptosis, and their functional polymorphisms may alter cancer risk. Our aim was to investigate the association of CASP8 and CASP9 gene polymorphisms with gastric cancer (GC) susceptibility.We undertook a case-control study of 88 GC cases and 480 controls to investigate the ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.

An Apoptotic Caspase Network Safeguards Cell Death Induction in Pyroptotic Macrophages
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Pyroptosis has emerged as a key mechanism by which inflammasomes promote host defense against microbial pathogens and sterile inflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated cell lysis is a hallmark of pyroptosis, but our understanding of cell death ...

Caspase-8: A Novel Target to Overcome Resistance to Chemotherapy in Glioblastoma
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Caspase-8 was originally identified as a central player of programmed cell death triggered by death receptor stimulation. In that context, its activity is tightly regulated through several mechanisms, with the best established being the expression of ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Nuclear prothymosin α inhibits epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung cancer by increasing Smad7 acetylation and competing with Smad2 for binding to SNAI1, TWIST1, and ZEB1 promoters. In early‐stage cancer, ProT suppresses TGF‐β‐induced EMT, while its loss in the nucleus in late‐stage cancer leads to enhanced EMT and poor prognosis.
