Prediction of Therapeutic Outcome and Survival in a Transgenic Mouse Model of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Dendritic Cell Vaccination or CDK Inhibitor Using MRI Texture: A Feasibility Study
10 views | Jun 17 2020
Aydin Eresen et al. demonstrated that MRI texture features had great potential to generate diagnosis and prognosis models for monitoring early treatment response following dinaciclib drug or DC vaccine treatment and also predicting histopathological tumor markers and long-term clinical outcomes.

Cooperativity Between Orthosteric Inhibitors and Allosteric Inhibitor 8-Anilino-1-Naphthalene Sulfonic Acid (ANS) in Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2
15 views | Jun 16 2020
Erik B Faber et al. detailed the positive cooperativity between ANS and orthosteric Cdk2 inhibitors dinaciclib and roscovitine, which increased the affinity of ANS toward Cdk2 5-fold to 10-fold, and the relatively noncooperative effects of ATP. [Read the Full Post]
Inhibition of Apoptosis by Caspase Inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK Improves Cryotolerance of in Vitro Derived Bovine Embryos
0 views | May 26 2020
Maria Elena Pero et al. found that the addition of 20 μM Z-VAD-FMK during vitrification/warming and post-warming culture partially inhibited cryopreservation-induced apoptosis by reducing the level of active caspase 3, suggesting a potential used as an additive to ameliorate the efficiency of embryo cryopreservation in cattle, critical for a further diffusion of IVEP technology in the field.

Caspase-3 Inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK Enhances Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Vision Restoration After Rabbit Traumatic Optic Nerve Injury
49 views | Apr 28 2020
Yuanyuan Liu et al. showed the caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK is neuroprotective by inhibiting RGCs apoptosis when injected 30 min after optic nerve damage and significantly promotes restoration of vision. A controlled clinical trial is now needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Z-DEVD-FMK in humans. [Read the Full Post]
Isoflavones Isolated from the Seeds of Millettia ferruginea Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells
87 views | Jan 18 2020
Wang YY et al. suggested that DMI induced apoptotic cell death through the intrinsic pathway via ROS production, while ferrugone stimulated the extrinsic pathway in human ovarian cancer cells. [Read the Full Post]
Suppression of human T cell proliferation by the caspase inhibitors, z-VAD-FMK and z-IETD-FMK is independent of their caspase inhibition properties
0 views | Jan 12 2020
Lawrence CP and Chow SC demonstrated that both z-VAD-FMK and z-IETD-FMK are immunosuppressive in vitro and inhibit T cell proliferation without blocking the processing of caspase-8 and caspase-3. [Read the Full Post]
An integrative pharmacogenomics analysis identifies therapeutic targets in KRAS-mutant lung cancer
155 views | Nov 07 2019
Wang H et al. developed a genotype-based strategy that identifies CK2 as a promising co-target in KRAS(G12C) mutant NSCLC by using available pharmacogenomics gene expression datasets. This approach is applicable to other oncogene driven cancers. [Read the Full Post]
The Caspase 1 Inhibitor VX-765 Protects the Isolated Rat Heart via the RISK Pathway
0 views | Nov 06 2019
Do Carmo H et al. indicated the caspase 1 inhibitor, VX-765, was able to reduce myocardial infarction in a model of IR injury. However, the addition of IPC did not demonstrate any further protection. [Read the Full Post]
The anti-caspase inhibitor Q-VD-OPH prevents AIDS disease progression in SIV-infected rhesus macaques
183 views | Oct 20 2019
Laforge M et al. demonstrated that Q-VD-OPH injection in SIV-infected RMs may represent an adjunctive therapeutic agent to control HIV infection and delaying disease progression to AIDS. [Read the Full Post]
The pan-caspase inhibitor Emricasan (IDN-6556) decreases liver injury and fibrosis in a murine model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
193 views | Oct 15 2019
Barreyro FJ et al. demonstrated that in a murine model of NASH, liver injury and fibrosis are suppressed by inhibiting hepatocytes apoptosis and suggests that Emricasan may be an attractive antifibrotic therapy in NASH. [Read the Full Post]
