Withaferin A induces apoptosis in human melanoma cells through generation of reactive oxygen species and down-regulation of Bcl-2
A high resistance and heterogeneous response to conventional anti-cancer chemotherapies characterize malignant cutaneous melanoma, the most aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. Withaferin A (WFA), a with...

A flavivirus protein M-derived peptide directly permeabilizes mitochondrial membranes, triggers cell death and reduces human tumor growth in nude mice
Dengue viruses belong to the Flavivirus family and are responsible for hemorrhagic fever in Human. Dengue virus infection triggers apoptosis especially through the expression of the small membrane (M) protein....

Methods for the assessment of mitochondrial membrane permeabilization in apoptosis
Mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP) is considered as the “point-of-no-return” in numerous models of programmed cell death. Indeed, mitochondria determine the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, and play ...

Acidic extracellular pH shifts colorectal cancer cell death from apoptosis to necrosis upon exposure to propionate and acetate, major end-products of the human probiotic propionibacteria
The human probiotic Propionibacterium freudenreichii kills colorectal adenocarcinoma cells through apoptosis in vitro via its metabolites, the short chain fatty acids (SCFA), acetate and propionate. However, the ...

Inhibition of caspase-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition protects airway epithelial cells against mustard-induced apoptosis
In the present study, the toxicity of yperite, SM, and its structural analogue mechlorethamine, HN2, was investigated in a human bronchial epithelial cell line 16HBE. Cell detachment was initiated by caspase-2...
