The Drosophila DIAP1 protein is required to prevent accumulation of a continuously generated, processed form of the apical caspase DRONC [PDF]
Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (LAP) protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation is ...

Caspase-1 Is an Apical Caspase Leading to Caspase-3 Cleavage in the AIM2 Inflammasome Response, Independent of Caspase-8 [PDF]
Canonical inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that can activate both caspase-1 and caspase-8. Caspase-1 drives rapid lysis of cells by pyroptosis and maturation of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. In caspase-1-deficient cells, inflammasome formation still leads to caspase-3 activation and slower apoptotic death, dependent on caspase-8 as an apical ...

Pramanicin induces apoptosis in Jurkat leukemia cells; a role for JNK, p38 and caspase activation [PDF]
Pramanicin is a novel anti-fungal drug with a wide range of potential application against human diseases. It has been previously shown that pramanicin induces cell death and increases calcium levels in vascular endothelial cells. In the present study, we

Mitochondrial control of innate immune signaling by irradiated cancer cells
Type I interferon (IFN) release by irradiated cancer cells is paramount for radiation therapy to elicit anticancer immunity. Our findings demonstrate that mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) triggered by RT enables exposure of ...

Kinetic Monte Carlo study of the type1/type 2 choice in apoptosis elucidates selective killing of cancer cells under death ligand induction [PDF]
Death ligand mediated apoptotic activation is a mode of programmed cell death that is widely used in cellular and physiological situations. Interest in studying death ligand induced apoptosis has increased due to the promising role of recombinant soluble forms of death ligands (mainly recombinant TRAIL) in anti-cancer therapy.
