Bacterial death induced by expression of the intracellular portion of human Fas

In attempting to produce the intracellular portion of human Fas (IC_175–319) as a GST-fusion protein we found that expression of GST-IC_175–319, but not GST alone or GST-IC_231–298 (containing the Fas death domain),...

Soluble Fas gene therapy protects against Fas-mediated apoptosis of hepatocytes but not the lethal effects of Fas-induced TNF-α production by Kupffer cells

The elevation of soluble Fas (sFas) in the sera of patients with liver disease suggests a role for sFas in the disease process; whether it is protective or not is controversial. To determine the effects of sFa...

Induction of acetylcholinesterase expression during apoptosis in various cell types

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) plays a key role in terminating neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses. AChE is also found in tissues devoid of cholinergic responses, indicating potential functions beyond neuro...

Wedelolactone suppresses LPS-induced caspase-11 expression by directly inhibiting the IKK Complex

Caspase-11 is a key regulator of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β maturation and pathological apoptosis. Caspase-11 is not expressed in most tissues under normal condition, but highly inducible upon pathological st...

Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) induces osteoclast formation from monocyte/macrophage lineage precursor cells

Recent evidence indicates that the decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) of the TNF receptor superfamily, which initially though prevents cytokine responses of FasL, LIGHT and TL1A by binding and neutralization, can modulat...

EDAG regulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells and resists cell apoptosis through the activation of nuclear factor-κB

Erythroid differentiation-associated gene (EDAG) is considered to be a human hematopoiesis-specific gene. Here, we reported that downregulation of EDAG protein in K562 cells resulted in inhibition of growth an...

Galectin-1 induces nuclear translocation of endonuclease G in caspase- and cytochrome c-independent T cell death

Galectin-1, a mammalian lectin expressed in many tissues, induces death of diverse cell types, including lymphocytes and tumor cells. The galectin-1 T cell death pathway is novel and distinct from other death ...

Characterization of TRZ1, a yeast homolog of the human candidate prostate cancer susceptibility gene ELAC2 encoding tRNase Z

In humans, mutation of ELAC2 is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. ELAC2 has been shown to have tRNase Z activity and is associated with the γ-tubulin complex.

Nuclear distribution and chromatin association of DNA polymerase α-primase is affected by TEV protease cleavage of Cdc23 (Mcm10) in fission yeast

Cdc23/Mcm10 is required for the initiation and elongation steps of DNA replication but its biochemical function is unclear. Here, we probe its function using a novel approach in fission yeast, involving Cdc23 ...

Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3β suppresses coxsackievirus-induced cytopathic effect and apoptosis via stabilization of β-catenin

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a common human pathogen for viral myocarditis, induces a direct cytopathic effect (CPE) and apoptosis on infected cells. To elucidate the mechanisms that contribute to these processes...

Erk is involved in the differentiation induced by diallyl disulfide in the human gastric cancer cell line MGC803

Diallyl disulfide (DADS) is a major constituent of garlic. Previously, we found that DADS both inhibited proliferation in human gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, and induced G2/M arrest. In this study, w...
