Immunogenic cell death after combined treatment with radiation and ATR inhibitors is dually regulated by apoptotic caspases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionInhibitors of the ATR kinase act as radiosensitizers through abrogating the G2 checkpoint and reducing DNA repair. Recent studies suggest that ATR inhibitors can also increase radiation-induced antitumor immunity, but the underlying ...

Autolysosomes and caspase-3 control the biogenesis and release of immunogenic apoptotic exosomes

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
Apoptotic exosome-like vesicles (ApoExos) are a novel type of extracellular vesicle that contribute to the propagation of inflammation at sites of vascular injury when released by dying cells.

Double-Edged Sword Effect of Pyroptosis: The Role of Caspase-1/-4/-5/-11 in Different Levels of Apical Periodontitis

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The study was to investigate the effect of canonical and noncanonical pyroptosis in apical periodontitis. Proteins’ profiles of human apical periodontitis tissue were analyzed by label-free proteomics.

Inhibition of distant caspase homologues by natural caspase inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2001
Caspases play an important role in the ability of animal cells to kill themselves by apoptosis. Caspase activity is regulated in vivo by members of three distinct protease inhibitor families, two of which, baculovirus p35 and members of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) family, are thought to be caspase specific.

The roles of p38MAPK and caspase-3 in DADS-induced apoptosis in human HepG2 cells

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2010
Objectives To explore the function of p38MAPK and caspase-3 in DADS-induced apoptosis in human HepG2 cells, and discuss the signal transduetion mechanism of HepG2 cells in the apoptosis process induced by DADS by using the inhibitors of p38MAPK (SB203580)

A calpain inhibitor protects against fractalkine production in lipopolysaccharide-treated endothelial cells

open access: yesKidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2017
Background: Fractalkine (CX3CL1) is a chemokine with a unique CX3C motif and is produced by endothelial cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and interferon-γ.

Targeting Caspase 8: Using Structural and Ligand-Based Approaches to Identify Potential Leads for the Treatment of Multi-Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesMolecules, 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 ...

Small Molecules for the Treatment of Long-COVID-Related Vascular Damage and Abnormal Blood Clotting: A Patent-Based Appraisal

open access: yesViruses
People affected by COVID-19 are exposed to, among others, abnormal clotting and endothelial dysfunction, which may result in deep vein thrombosis, cerebrovascular disorders, and ischemic and non-ischemic heart diseases, to mention a few.

Reassessment of Caspase Inhibition to Augment Grafted Dopamine Neuron Survival

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2004
One experimental therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) is the transplantation of embryonic ventral mesencephalic tissue. Unfortunately, up to 95% of grafted neurons die, many via apoptosis.

Apoptosis inhibitor 5 is an endogenous inhibitor of caspase‐2 [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Reports, 2017
Caspases are key enzymes responsible for mediating apoptotic cell death. Across species, caspase-2 is the most conserved caspase and stands out due to unique features. Apart from cell death, caspase-2 also regulates autophagy, genomic stability and ageing. Caspase-2 requires dimerization for its activation which is primarily accomplished by recruitment
