Constitutively Active Death Receptor Induces Apoptosis in Mammalian Cells
Apoptosis is a physiological response in development and homeostasis of metazoans. Apoptosis is triggered during pathological events as a means to renew affected tissues and eliminate cancer cells. The immune system regulates the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis, where signals such as TNFα or displayed ligands on the surface of immune cells trigger signal cascades by death receptors present on targeted cells. Therapeutics, like Doxorubicin, lead to apoptosis successfully.
A Novel Regulatory Mechanism to Regulate the Deubiquitinating Activity of USP25 by Oligomerization
Protein ubiquitination is a major post-translational mechanism that regulates fate and function of many proteins in the cell, either by regulating their abundance by the 26S-proteasome-ubiquitin system or by modulating protein activity by the attachment of the ubiquitin modifier
Nicotiana glauca Induces Apoptosis in Human Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells: Molecular Targets
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma whose resistance to chemotherapies is associated with defective apoptosis or/and cell cycle. Given that we have reported that the liposoluble extract from the leaves of Nicotiana glauca induces apoptosis in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma cells, this research aims to know the molecular mechanism involved, to elucidate the pharmacological potential of the Nicotiana glauca.
