Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular

The Effects of Ibuprofen Cytoxic Dose on caspase-3, -8 and -9 Activity level in cervical cancer (Hela) cells

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2019
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Studies have shown that ibuprofen can have an anti-cancer effect on cervical cells, although the mechanism of this effect is not well known in cellular and molecular terms.

Caspase‐8 Variant G Regulates Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocyte Aggressive Behavior

ACR Open Rheumatology, 2022
Objective Fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) play a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by contributing to synovial inflammation and progressive joint damage. An imprinted epigenetic state is associated with the FLS aggressive phenotype.

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

FLIPL induces caspase 8 activity in the absence of interdomain caspase 8 cleavage and alters substrate specificity [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 2011
Caspase 8 is an initiator caspase that is activated by death receptors to initiate the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Caspase 8 activation involves dimerization and subsequent interdomain autoprocessing of caspase 8 zymogens, and recently published work has established that elimination of the autoprocessing site of caspase 8 abrogates its pro ...

The anticancer effect of the HDAC inhibitor belinostat is enhanced by inhibitors of Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The pan‐HDAC inhibitor belinostat increases the expression of the pro‐apoptotic proteins Bim, Puma, and Noxa and induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient‐derived tumor organoids when used at high concentrations. Moreover, inhibiting the anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 sensitizes these preclinical models to the cytotoxic effect

Insights into the Regulatory Mechanism for Caspase-8 Activation [PDF]

Molecular Cell, 2003
In the death receptor induced apoptotic pathway, caspase-8 autocatalytically cleaves itself at specific cleavage sites. To better understand the regulatory mechanisms behind caspase-8 activation, we compared active wild-type caspase-8 (wtC8) and an uncleavable form of procaspase-8 (uncleavable C8).

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...

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 ...

Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis 2 (cIAP2) restricts neuroinflammation during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background Immune activation, neuroinflammation, and cell death are the hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (MS), which is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is well-documented that the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis
