Death receptor signals to the mitochondria [PDF]
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
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.

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.

TRAF2 Controls Death Receptor-Induced Caspase-8 Processing and Facilitates Proinflammatory Signaling
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
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

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 ...

Both plants and animals are endowed with sophisticated innate immune systems to combat microbial attack. In these multicellular eukaryotes, innate immunity implies the presence of cell surface receptors and intracellular receptors able to detect danger ...

A Mechanism for Death Receptor Discrimination by Death Adaptors [PDF]
The death domain and death effector domain are two common motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions between components of cell death signaling complexes. The mechanism by which these domains engage their binding partners has been explored by extensive mutagenesis of two death adaptors, FADD and TRADD, suggesting that a death adaptor can ...

Tumor cells, which undergo Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) acquire increased capacities of proliferation, invasion and have the ability to generate metastases by escaping the immune system during their systemic migration.
