Macrophage-evading and tumor-specific apoptosis inducing nanoparticles for targeted cancer therapy
Extended circulation of anticancer nanodrugs in blood stream is essential for their clinical applications. However, administered nanoparticles are rapidly sequestered and cleared by cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS).

Compartmentalization of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) death receptor functions: emerging role of nuclear TRAIL-R2 [PDF]
Localized in the plasma membrane, death domain-containing TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors, TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2, induce apoptosis and non-apoptotic signaling when crosslinked by the ligand TRAIL or by agonistic receptor-specific antibodies.

Targeting TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptor by natural products as a potential therapeutic approach for cancer therapy [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to selectively induce apoptotic cell death in various tumor cells by engaging its death-inducing receptors (TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2). This property has led to the development of a number of TRAIL–receptor agonists such as the soluble recombinant TRAIL and agonistic antibodies,

Pioglitazone inhibits growth of carcinoid cells and promotes TRAIL-induced apoptosis by induction of p21(waf1/cip1) [PDF]
Background/Aims: We investigated the effect of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) agonist pioglitazone on growth and TRAIL-induced apoptosis in carcinoid cells.

miR-25 Targets TNF-Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) Death Receptor-4 and Promotes Apoptosis Resistance in Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Abstract It has been established that microRNA expression and function contribute to phenotypic features of malignant cells, including resistance to apoptosis. Although targets and functional roles for a number of microRNAs have been described in cholangiocarcinoma, many

TRAIL Modulates the Immune System and Protects against the Development of Diabetes
TRAIL or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) related apoptosis-inducing ligand is a member of the TNF superfamily of proteins, whose best characterized function is the induction of apoptosis in tumor, infected, or transformed cells through activation of specific

BCR-ABL regulates death receptor expression for TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia [PDF]
Abstract Abstract 2740 Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is potentially curative therapy for CML and Ph+ ALL patients. Graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect plays a central role in eradication of residual leukemia after allo-SCT, and GVL effect is mediated by cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and NK cells though ...

Changes in expression of TNF alpha and its receptors mRNAs in oocytes and granulosa cells in mice with experimental immune ovarian failure [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the expression of TNF- α and its receptors (types I and II) at mRNA level in oocytes and granulose cells as well as to study effect of TNF-α on follicular cell death in mice with experimental immune ovarian failure induced by ...
