Molecular architecture of the DED chains at the DISC: regulation of procaspase-8 activation by short DED proteins c-FLIP and procaspase-8 prodomain
The CD95/Fas/APO-1 death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), comprising CD95, FADD, procaspase-8, procaspase-10, and c-FLIP, has a key role in apoptosis induction. Recently, it was demonstrated that procaspase-...

Open AccessTax contributes apoptosis resistance to HTLV-1-infected T cells via suppression of Bid and Bim expression
The human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiological agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). HTLV-1 Tax has been shown to have a prosurvival role in infected T cells by enhancing expression of the B...

Open AccessThe traditional Chinese medical compound Rocaglamide protects nonmalignant primary cells from DNA damage-induced toxicity by inhibition of p53 expression
One of the main obstacles of conventional anticancer therapy is the toxicity of chemotherapeutics to normal tissues. So far, clinical approaches that aim to specifically reduce chemotherapy-mediated toxicities...

Regulation of CD95/Fas signaling at the DISC
CD95 (APO-1/Fas) is a member of the death receptor (DR) family. Stimulation of CD95 leads to induction of apoptotic and non-apoptotic signaling pathways. The formation of the CD95 death-inducing signaling comp...

Article
Open AccessCaspase-8 activity has an essential role in CD95/Fas-mediated MAPK activation
Stimulation of CD95/Fas/APO-1 results in the induction of both apoptotic and non-apoptotic signaling pathways. The processes regulating these two opposing pathways have not been thoroughly elucidated to date. ...

Open AccessWogonin and related natural flavones are inhibitors of CDK9 that induce apoptosis in cancer cells by transcriptional suppression of Mcl-1
The wogonin-containing herb Scutellaria baicalensis has successfully been used for curing various diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Wogonin has been shown to induce apoptosis in different cancer cells and...

Modulation of CD4+ T-cell activation by CD95 co-stimulation
CD95 is a dual-function receptor that exerts pro- or antiapoptotic effects depending on the cellular context, the state of activation, the signal threshold and the mode of ligation. In this study, we report th...

Rocaglamide breaks TRAIL resistance in HTLV-1-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma by translational suppression of c-FLIP expression
The human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1)-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is incurable by currently known therapies. ATL samples and cell lines derived from ATL patients show restricted s...

Rocaglamide sensitizes leukemic T cells to activation-induced cell death by differential regulation of CD95L and c-FLIP expression
Drugs with tumor selectivity may have an important benefit in chemotherapies. We have previously shown that Rocaglamide(s), derived from the medicinal plant Aglaia, kills various leukemic cells through the mitoch...

Sustained JNK signaling by proteolytically processed HPK1 mediates IL-3 independent survival during monocytic differentiation
We studied monocytic differentiation of primary mouse progenitor cells to understand molecular mechanisms of differentiation. We found a tightly controlled non-apoptotic activation of caspase-3 that correlated...

Specific resistance upon lentiviral TRAIL transfer by intracellular retention of TRAIL receptors
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in many transformed cells, suggesting TRAIL as an ideal candidate for cancer gene therapy. A main obstacle in cance...

Paucity of FOXP3+ cells in skin and peripheral blood distinguishes Sézary syndrome from other cutaneous T-cell lymphomas
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are mainly comprised of two variants: mycosis fungoides (MF) with CD4+ tumor cells confined to the skin and the leukemic Sézary syndrome with tumor cell spread to the blood. In t...

The role of CAP3 in CD95 signaling: new insights into the mechanism of procaspase-8 activation
Formation of the CD95 (APO-1/Fas) death inducing signaling complex (DISC) plays a central role in CD95 signaling. Previously, CD95 DISC composition was analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and four ...

Control of neuronal branching by the death receptor CD95 (Fas/Apo-1)
The CD95 (Apo-1/Fas)/CD95 ligand (CD95L) system is best characterized as a trigger of apoptosis. Nevertheless, despite broad expression of CD95L and CD95 in the develo** brain, absence of functional CD95 (lpr m...

TAp73/ΔNp73 influences apoptotic response, chemosensitivity and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma
We investigated the mechanisms by which TAp73β and dominant-negative p73 (ΔNp73) regulate apoptosis. TAp73β transactivated the CD95 gene via the p53-binding site in the first intron. In addition, TAp73β induced e...
