Pyroptosis is involved in the inhibitory effect of FL118 on growth and metastasis in colorectal cancer
10 views | Aug 26 2020
Zhenxue Tang et al. found that FL118 restrained the growth and metastasis of colorectal cancer by inducing NLRP3-ASC-Caspase-1 mediated pyroptosis, which provided important evidence in the study on the role of pyroptosis and different tumors. [Read the Full Post]
Cannabinoid 1 Receptor Antagonists Play a Neuroprotective Role in Chronic Alcoholic Hippocampal Injury Related to Pyroptosis Pathway
10 views | Aug 26 2020
Dingang Zhang et al. indicated that cannabinoid receptors were regulated during this process, which suggested promising therapeutic strategies against alcohol-induced neurotoxicity through pharmacologic inhibition of CB1R. [Read the Full Post]
Giardia duodenalis induces extrinsic pathway of apoptosis in intestinal epithelial cells through activation of TNFR1 and K63 de-ubiquitination of RIP1 in vitro
32 views | Aug 11 2020
Lin Liu et al. suggested that Giardia trophozoite stimulation could activate CASP3/8 signaling pathways via activation of TNFR1 and K63 de-ubiquitination of RIP1 caused by up-regulated expressions of CYLD and A20, and promoted Caco-2 cell apoptosis. [Read the Full Post]
Advanced bioinformatics rapidly identifies existing therapeutics for patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)
79 views | Jul 15 2020
Jason Kim et al. highlighted the potential use of two bioinformatics technologies to rapidly discover existing therapeutic agents that warranted further investigation for established and emerging disease processes. [Read the Full Post]
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
78 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. [Read the Full Post]
Cooperativity Between Orthosteric Inhibitors and Allosteric Inhibitor 8-Anilino-1-Naphthalene Sulfonic Acid (ANS) in Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2
77 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
99 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
134 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]
