Human oral squamous carcinoma is considered the most common cancer; it imposes multiple and dental consequences as a result of cancer treatment. We previously found that nanoencapsulation cordycepin (CS) could inhibit cells. However, mechanism action was not understood. The aim this study to investigate signaling pathway by which CS encapsulated nanoparticles (NPs) activate inhibition cell grow...

Caspase-8 activation promotes cell apoptosis but is also essential for T cell activation. The extent of caspase activation and substrate cleavage in these divergent processes remains unclear. We show that murine effector CD4(+) T cells generated levels of caspase activity intermediate between unstimulated T cells and apoptotic populations. Both caspase-8 and caspase-3 were partially activated i...

Background: Caspase-3 is involved in the execution of apoptosis and widely used as an apoptotic marker. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) released from activated macrophages has various functions such modulation cell growth differentiation, immunoregulation, coagulation, regulation endothelial function. This study investigated immunohistochemical staining caspase-3 TNF-α expression placentas preg...
