The Apoptosome Activates Caspase-9 by Dimerization [PDF]
The apical protease of the human intrinsic apoptotic pathway, caspase-9, is activated in a polymeric activation platform known as the apoptosome. The mechanism has been debated, and two contrasting hypotheses have been suggested. One of these postulates an allosteric activation of monomeric caspase-9; the other postulates a dimer-driven assembly at the

Astaxanthin effect on apoptotic biomarkers in methotrexate-induced liver injury
Methotrexate is used in the treatment of cancer, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and several other disorders. It has a hepatotoxic potential side effect. Patients who have no access to alternative medications face a serious challenge as a result.

Characterization of a Novel Proapoptotic Caspase-2- and Caspase-9-binding Protein [PDF]
Caspases play important roles in regulating apoptotic signaling pathways. Here we report the cloning, by the yeast two hybrid system with dominant negative caspase-2 as "bait," of a proapoptotic molecule named proapoptotic caspase adaptor protein (PACAP), encoded by a 372-base pair open reading frame. Binding of this novel protein to caspase-2 (casp-2)

Caspase 8 and caspase 9 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to gastric cancer [PDF]
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 ...

Caspase-9 and effector caspases have sequential and distinct effects on mitochondria [PDF]
Proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members alter mitochondrial permeability resulting in the release of apoptogenic factors that initiate a caspase cascade. These changes are well described; however, the effects of caspases on mitochondrial function are less well characterized.

MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis in vitro induced by dihydromyricetin
To investigate the effect of dihydromyricetin (DMY) induction on MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis and its mechanism, the changes of cell morphological characteristics were observed under inverted microscope.

Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-
