Targeting Protective Autophagy Exacerbates UV-Triggered Apoptotic Cell Death
Autophagy is activated by various stresses, including DNA damage, and previous studies of DNA damage-induced autophagy have focused on the response to chemotherapeutic drugs, ionizing radiation, and reactive oxygen species. In this study, we investigated the biological significance of autophagic response to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in A549 and H1299 cells. Our results indicated that UV indu...
متن کاملTargeting Metabolism to Induce Cell Death in Cancer Cells and Cancer Stem Cells
Abnormal metabolism and the evasion of apoptosis are considered hallmarks of cancers. Accumulating evidence shows that cancer stem cells are key drivers of tumor formation, progression, and recurrence. A successful therapy must therefore eliminate these cells known to be highly resistant to apoptosis. In this paper, we describe the metabolic changes as well as the mechanisms of resistance to ap...
متن کاملGarlic Extract Can Induce Apoptotic Cell Death in The Human Colon Adenocarcinoma HT29 Cell Line
Background and Objective: Garlic has been known worldwide as a dietary constituent with many pharmacological effects. The present in vitro study was designed to investigate the putative anticancer effect of garlic extract on cancer cells, and if this effect was through apoptosis induction. Material and Methods: Human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT29 were treated with different doses (1, 5 a...
متن کاملTumor-targeting novel manganese complex induces ROS-mediated apoptotic and autophagic cancer cell death
In this study, the antitumor activity of the novel manganese (II) compound, Adpa-Mn {[(Adpa)Mn(Cl)(H(2)O)] (Adpa=bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino-2-propionic acid)}, and its possible mechanisms of action were investigated. In vitro, the growth inhibitory effects of Adpa-Mn (with IC(50) values lower than 15 µM) on tumor cell lines were examined by MTT assay. We found that this compound was more selecti...
متن کاملDual-Targeting Pro-apoptotic Peptide for Programmed Cancer Cell Death via Specific Mitochondria Damage
Mitochondria are vital organelles to eukaryotic cells. Damage to mitochondria will cause irreversible cell death or apoptosis. In this report, we aim at programmed cancer cell death via specific mitochondrial damage. Herein, a functionalized pro-apoptotic peptide demonstrates a dual-targeting capability using folic acid (FA) (targeting agent I) and triphenylphosphonium (TPP) cation (targeting a...
