Another one bites the dust; ARTS enables degradation of Bcl-2 by XIAP
ARTS (Sept4_i2) is a pro-apoptotic mitochondrial tumor suppressor protein which binds to and causes degradation of XIAP (X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis).

The kinesin Eg5 inhibitor K858 induces apoptosis but also survivin-related chemoresistance in breast cancer cells [PDF]
Inhibitors of kinesin spindle protein Eg5 are characterized by pronounced antitumor activity. Our group has recently synthesized and screened a library of 1,3,4-thiadiazoline analogues with the pharmacophoric structure of K858, an Eg5 inhibitor.

PARP inhibitor ABT-888 affects response of MDA-MB-231 cells to doxorubicin treatment, targeting Snail expression [PDF]
To overcome cancer cells resistance to pharmacological therapy, the development of new therapeutic approaches becomes urgent. For this purpose, the use of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in combination with other cytotoxic agents could ...

High expression of XIAP and Bcl-2 may inhibit programmed cell death in glioblastomas
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant glioma and represents 29% of all brain tumors. Tumorigenesis is intimately connected with characteristics acquired in the physiologic pathway of cellular death.

X‐Linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein is involved in mutant SOD1‐mediated neuronal degeneration [PDF]
AbstractMutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene cause the degeneration of motor neurons in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). An apoptotic process including caspase‐1 and ‐3 has been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of FALS transgenic (Tg) mouse model. Here we report that IAP proteins, potent inhibitors of apoptosis, are
