Splice variants in apoptotic pathway.
Elimination of superfluous or mutated somatic cells is provided by various mechanisms including apoptosis, and deregulation of apoptotic signaling pathways contributes to oncogenesis. 40 years have passed since the term "apoptosis" was introduced by Kerr et al. in 1972; among the programmed cell death, a variety of therapeutic strategies especially targeting apoptotic pathways have been investi...
متن کاملApoptotic Engulfment Pathway and Schizophrenia
BACKGROUND Apoptosis has been speculated to be involved in schizophrenia. In a previously study, we reported the association of the MEGF10 gene with the disease. In this study, we followed the apoptotic engulfment pathway involving the MEGF10, GULP1, ABCA1 and ABCA7 genes and tested their association with the disease. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Ten, eleven and five SNPs were genotyped in ...
متن کاملp53AIP1 regulates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.
We identified recently the p53AIP1 gene, a novel p53 target that mediates p53-dependent apoptosis. In the experiments reported here, ectopic expression of p53AIP1 induced down-regulation of mitochondrial DeltaPsim and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria in human cells. Immunoprecipitation and immunostaining experiments indicated interaction between p53AIP1 and bcl-2 proteins at mitochondr...
متن کاملFenretinide activates a distinct apoptotic pathway.
This is an exciting period in molecular oncology. Molecular pharmacologic pathways are being discovered that regulate tumor cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In this regard, retinoids are worthy of study because these natural and synthetic derivatives of vitamin A can inhibit proliferation, promote differentiation, trigger apoptosis, and affect other signaling pathways. Moreov...
متن کاملThe Bcl-2-regulated apoptotic pathway.
Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is required for the removal of infected, damaged or unwanted cells and its disrupted regulation is implicated in cancer, autoimmunity and degenerative disorders. At the molecular level, multiple signaling pathways converge on a family of cysteine proteases (caspases), which when activated cause cellular destruction by cleaving a range of vital cellular substrat...
