Death receptor signals to the mitochondria [PDF]
Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2004 Apoptosis is the best-characterized form of programmed cell death (PCD) and is of fundamental importance in tissue homeostasis. In mammalian systems, there are two major pathways that are involved in the initiation of apoptosis: the "extrinsic" death receptor pathway and the "intrinsic" mitochondrial pathway.

Volatile oil of Teucrium alopecurus sensitizes colon cancer cells to TRAIL-induced cell death
Frontiers in Bioscience-Scholar, 2021 TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L), a member of cytokine family, is known to selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells. However, developing resistance to TRAIL is a major obstacle in cancer therapy.

eLife, 2021 Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer death, and its mortality is associated with metastasis and chemoresistance. We demonstrate that oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells are sensitized to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis.

Contribution of receptors to 'Neisseria meningitidis' interactions with human macrophages [PDF]
, 2004 N. meningitidis is a gram-negative human pathogen that invades human cells, evades immune responses and goes on to cause meningococcal disease, sepsis and death.

TRAF2 Controls Death Receptor-Induced Caspase-8 Processing and Facilitates Proinflammatory Signaling
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated factor-2 (TRAF2) knockout (KO) cells were generated to investigate the role of TRAF2 in signaling by TNFR1 and the CD95-type death receptors (DRs) TRAILR1/2 and CD95.

Life and death by death receptors
The FASEB Journal, 2009 ABSTRACT Death receptors are members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily characterized by a cytoplasmic region known as the “death domain” that enables the receptors to initiate cytotoxic signals when engaged by cognate ligands. Binding to the ligand results in receptor aggregation and recruitment of

Differential activation of JNK1 isoforms by TRAIL receptors modulate apoptosis of colon cancer cell lines [PDF]
, 2009 Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis on binding to its receptors, death receptor 4 and 5 (DR4, DR5).

Microsatellite instability, KRAS mutations and cellular distribution of TRAIL-receptors in early stage colorectal cancer. [PDF]
, 2012 Thus, we evaluated the immunofluorescence pattern of TRAIL-receptors and E-cadherin to assess the fraction of membrane-bound TRAIL-receptors in 231 selected patients with early-stage CRC undergoing surgical treatment only.

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 GABAB receptors control neuronal excitability via slow and prolonged inhibition in the central nervous system. One important function of GABAB receptors under physiological condition is to prevent neurons from shifting into an overexcitation state which ...
