Enhanced dendritic cell development through long-term proteasome inhibition
Bortezomib (BTZ) is a reversible proteasome inhibitor. It affects NF-κB activity and has shown clinical efficacy in multiple myeloma. However, the same mechanisms through which it curtails malignant growth may compromise antitumor immunity. As dendritic cells (DC) play a vital role in the elicitation and maintenance of antitumor immunity, we studied the long-term effects of BTZ on human DC deve...
متن کاملProteasome inhibitors block development of Plasmodium spp.
Proteasomes degrade most of the proteins inside eukaryotic cells, including transcription factors and regulators of cell cycle progression. Here we show that nanomolar concentrations of lactacystin, a specific irreversible inhibitor of the 20S proteasome, inhibit development of the exoerythrocytic and erythrocytic stages of the malaria parasite. Although lactacystin-treated Plasmodium berghei s...
متن کاملCell fasting: Cellular response and application of serum starvation
Humans suffer transient or persistent starvation due to a lack of food intake, either because of fasting, voluntary dieting, or due to the scarcity of available food. At the cellular level it is possible to possess pathological starvation during ischemia and solid tumors. Blood provides many nutrients to our cells, and researchers provide these nutrients to cells in culture in the form of en...
متن کاملNanoscale gold pillars strengthened through dislocation starvation
It has been known for more than half a century that crystals can be made stronger by introducing defects into them, i.e., by strain-hardening. As the number of defects increases, their movement and multiplication is impeded, thus strengthening the material. In the present work we show hardening by dislocation starvation, a fundamentally different strengthening mechanism based on the elimination...
متن کاملPEPCK in cancer cell starvation.
Nutrient and oxygen (O2) deprivation are frequent in solid cancers. Angiogenesis is activated early in cancer growth, however, the newly formed vascular network is aberrant and shows irregular blood flow [1]. Moreover, cancer cells themselves contribute to gradients for nutrients like glucose due to high consumption. The concentration of glucose was estimated to be on average 3 to 10 times lowe...
