X-Linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein as a Therapeutic Target in Metastatic Melanoma [PDF]
Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer, with notorious resistance to current chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In this issue, Hiscutt et al. report on the prognostic significance of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) in melanoma.

Mechanisms of sensorineural cell damage, death and survival in the cochlea. [PDF]
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well ...

X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (XIAP) Regulates PTEN Ubiquitination, Content, and Compartmentalization [PDF]
Apoptotic cell death plays a normal role in various physiological processes, and deregulated apoptosis is a hallmark of several diseases, including cancer. Cell fate is dictated by the balance between pro- and antiapoptotic factors. Akt is one of these antiapoptotic factors, which must be activated through phosphorylation.

Xiap Inhibitor and Antiestrogen Embelin Abrogates Metastasis and Augments Apoptosis in Estrogen Receptor Positive Human Breast Adenocarcinoma Cell Line MCF-7 [PDF]
Tamoxifen therapy for the treatment of hormone responsive breast cancer has limitations due to acquired resistance in the case of recurrences. Embelin, a known inhibitor of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) was also reported to exhibit ...

Inhibition of USP7 activity selectively eliminates senescent cells in part via restoration of p53 activity. [PDF]
The accumulation of senescent cells (SnCs) is a causal factor of various age-related diseases as well as some of the side effects of chemotherapy. Pharmacological elimination of SnCs (senolysis) has the potential to be developed into novel therapeutic ...

Uric acid promotes apoptosis in human proximal tubule cells by oxidative stress and the activation of NADPH oxidase NOX 4. [PDF]
Mild hyperuricemia has been linked to the development and progression of tubulointerstitial renal damage. However the mechanisms by which uric acid may cause these effects are poorly explored.

Identification of non-canonical NF-κB signaling as a critical mediator of Smac mimetic-stimulated migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells [PDF]
As inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins can regulate additional signaling pathways beyond apoptosis, we investigated the effect of the second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac) mimetic BV6, which antagonizes IAP proteins, on non-apoptotic ...
