Human Pathology, 2012
Caspases are essential initiators and executioners of apoptosis. Changes in their expression may contribute to the development of proliferative disorders such as cancer, by altering the death-proliferation homeostatic balance. The aim of this work was to analyze the expression of a broad panel of caspases at the epithelial level in human prostate ...

Analysis of caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 enzymatic activities in mouse oocytes and zygotes
Zygote, 2004The current consensus in the literature is that ovulated oocytes that are not fertilized die by apoptosis, but the details of the proteins involved in the apoptotic pathways have not been elucidated. In this paper we confirm that caspase-3, the executioner of apoptosis, is expressed in mouse oocytes, and show that two initiators of apoptosis, caspase-8

Immunohistochemical localization of caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bax in U87 glioblastoma xenografts
Journal of Molecular Histology, 2008Development of new therapies for glioblastoma requires animal models that mimic the biological characteristics of human brain tumors. On the other hand, potential antitumoral effects of a new therapeutic strategy are often established by evaluation of tumor cells apoptosis.

Expression of caspase‐8 and caspase‐9 in rat hippocampus during postnatal development
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2011AbstractThe role of caspases in the regulation of apoptosis of neurons during development is well established. An emerging body of evidence indicates that caspases may also play significant roles which are nonapoptotic. We have demonstrated previously that the executor caspase‐3 exhibited a unique pattern of spatiotemporal expression in the postnatal ...

Caspase‐3 and caspase‐9 mediate developmental apoptosis in the mouse olfactory system
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2004AbstractNeuronal apoptosis is a key component in the sculpting of tissues during embryonic and postnatal development and is driven largely by the action of caspases. In the mouse olfactory system, caspase‐3 and ‐9 are expressed in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of adult mice, and their selective retrograde activation drives ORN apoptosis following ...

Expression of phosphorylated caspase‐9 in gastric carcinomas
APMIS, 2007Alterations of caspases, the main executioners of apoptosis, have been described in human cancers. Caspase‐9 plays a crucial role in the initiation phase of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway. Caspase‐9 is phosphorylated at Thr125 through the mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and this phosphorylation is associated with inhibition of caspase‐

Changes in Activities of Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 in Human Cervical Malignancy
International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2011The apoptotic process of programmed cell death and its dysfunctions in a variety of human diseases, including cervical cancer, has become the focus of extensive scientific research. Caspases are considered key factors in the execution of apoptosis, although there are many aspects of their role to be elucidated.

Activation of Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 are Required for PC12 Cells Differentiation
Journal of Immunoassay and Immunochemistry, 2015Nerve growth factor- (NGF) induced potent activation of caspase-8, and caspase-9 in PC12 cells in a time-dependent manner. Peptide inhibition of caspase activity led to a potent reduction in neurite outgrowth in NGF-treated cells. Although NGF treatment resulted in cell-cycle G0/G1 arrest as detected by FACS cell-cycle analysis, caspase inhibitors ...
