Piperlongumine-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Membrane
BACKGROUND Piperlongumine, a component of Piper longum fruit, is considered as a treatment for malignancy. It is effective by inducing apoptosis. Mechanisms involved in the apoptotic action of piperlongumine include oxidative stress and activation of p38 kinase. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may undergo eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes characterized by ce...
متن کاملGeldanamycin-induced phosphatidylserine translocation in the erythrocyte membrane.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Geldanamycin, a benzoquinone ansamycin antibiotic, and its analogues induce apoptosis of tumor cells and are thus considered for the treatment of cancer. Similar to apoptosis of nucleated cells, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal erythrocyte death characterized by cell shrinkage and by cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine-exposure at the erythrocyte surfa...
متن کاملCarmustine-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Membrane
The nitrosourea alkylating agent, carmustine, is used as chemotherapeutic drug in several malignancies. The substance triggers tumor cell apoptosis. Side effects of carmustine include myelotoxicity with anemia. At least in theory, anemia could partly be due to stimulation of eryptosis, the suicidal death of erythrocytes, characterized by cell shrinkage and breakdown of phosphatidylserine asymme...
متن کاملEmbelin-Induced Phosphatidylserine Translocation in the Erythrocyte Cell Membrane.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The antihelminthic, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory and anticancer phytochemical embelin is at least in part effective against malignancy by inducing suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells. Erythrocytes are similarly able to enter suicidal death or eryptosis, which is characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling with phosphatidylserine translocation to the e...
متن کاملIKCa1 activity is required for cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine translocation and death in T lymphocyte apoptosis.
Apoptotic cell volume decrease (AVD) and exposure of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) at the cell surface are early events in apoptosis. However, the ion channels responsible for AVD, and their relationship to PtdSer translocation and cell death are poorly understood. Real-time analysis of calcium-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes and thymocytes showed that AVD occurs rapidly, and precedes PtdSer tra...
