Mashup Score: 0The actin nucleation factors JMY and WHAMM enable a rapid Arp2/3 complex-mediated intrinsic pathway of apoptosis - 3 year(s) ago
Author summary The actin cytoskeleton is a collection of protein polymers that assemble and disassemble within cells at specific times and locations. Cytoskeletal regulators called nucleation factors ensure that actin polymerizes when and where it is needed, and many of these factors are members of the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) family. Humans express 8 WASP-family proteins, but…

Mashup Score: 0Radium-223–induced Bystander Effects Cause DNA Damage and Apoptosis in Disseminated Tumor Cells in Bone Marrow - 3 year(s) ago
Radiation-induced bystander effects have been implicated in contributing to the growth delay of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) caused by 223RaCl2, an alpha particle–emitting radiopharmaceutical. To understand how 223RaCl2 affects the growth, we have quantified biological changes caused by direct effects of radiation and bystander effects caused by the emitted radiations on DTC and osteocytes….

Mashup Score: 0
Summary: In this issue of Cancer Discovery , Pullarkat and colleagues present the results from a phase I clinical trial that is the first to combine small-molecule inhibitors for multiple antiapoptotic proteins, BCL2 as well as BCL-XL, with a traditional chemotherapy backbone for patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This trial has demonstrated impressive response rates…

Mashup Score: 0S100A6 represses Calu-6 lung cancer cells growth via inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion and enhancing apoptosis - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
S100 calcium binding protein A6 (S100A6) has been reported to involve in many kinds of cancers through regulating intracellular calcium homeostasis. Previous studies found that S100A6 increased in lung cancer patients’ plasma and pleural effusion. This study focused on its function in Calu-6 lung ca …

Mashup Score: 0Targeted apoptosis of macrophages and osteoclasts in arthritic joints is effective against advanced inflammatory arthritis - 3 year(s) ago
Celastrol might be useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis in part by inhibiting apoptosis of macrophages; however, systemic toxicity is a concern. Here the authors design celastrol-loaded nanoparticles that release a payload in response to MMP9 cleavage and show these NPs are effective at inducing apoptosis of human macrophages in vitro and a therapeutic effect with an adjuvant-induced arthritis…

Mashup Score: 0During infancy low levels of follicle-stimulating hormone may result in high rate of germ cell apoptosis - 3 year(s) ago
It has been suggested that follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a role in preventing germ cell apoptosis. We aimed to compare apoptotic rate of boys with cryptorchidism having different levels of FSH in order to investigate its role in apoptosis.

Mashup Score: 0STING enhances cell death through regulation of reactive oxygen species and DNA damage - 3 year(s) ago
The endoplasmic reticulum-localized adaptor STING regulates the innate immune response through its ability to sense DNA damage. Here the authors reveal that STING functions as a regulator of cellular ROS homeostasis and tumor cell susceptibility to reactive oxygen dependent, DNA damaging agents.

Mashup Score: 1Systematic review of cognitive impairment and brain insult after mechanical ventilation - 3 year(s) ago
We conducted a systematic review following the PRISMA protocol primarily to identify publications that assessed any links between mechanical ventilation (MV) and either cognitive impairment or brain insult, independent of underlying medical conditions. Secondary objectives were to identify possible gaps in the literature that can be used to inform future studies and move toward a better…
