Rapid and efficient cancer cell killing mediated by high-affinity death receptor homotrimerizing TRAIL variants
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010)
The tumour necrosis factor family member TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells through the activation of death receptors 4 (DR4) and 5 (DR5) and is considered ...
The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Sensitizes AML with Myelomonocytic Differentiation to TRAIL Mediated Apoptosis
(2011)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive stem cell malignancy that is difficult to treat. There are limitations to the current treatment regimes especially after disease relapse, and therefore new therapeutic agents ...
Kinetics in signal transduction pathways involving promiscuous oligomerizing receptors can be determined by receptor specificity: Apoptosis induction by TRAIL
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012)
Here we show by computer modeling that kinetics and outcome of signal transduction in case of hetero-oligomerizing receptors of a promiscuous ligand largely depend on the relative amounts of its receptors. Promiscuous ...
Bcl-2 family on guard at the ER
(American Physiological Society, 2009)
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main site for protein folding, lipid biosynthesis and calcium storage in the cell. Disturbances of these critical cellular functions lead to
ER stress. The ER responds to disturbances ...
