Targeting the aging of tumor-associated neutrophils in lung cancer

Neutrophils are leukocytes that play a key role in innate immunity. Their mode of action in case of infection is well described, but their impact in different chronic diseases, such as cancer, remains unclear. Nevertheless, recent publications describe neu ...

Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth

Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Amber Dawn Bowler, Etienne Meylan, Anita Bodac, Justine Pascual, Vincent Roh

Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...

The pro-apoptotic effect of a Terpene-rich Annona cherimola leaf extract on leukemic cell lines

Rita Sarkis, Maria Younes

Background The edible fruit Annona cherimola has previously shown many nutritional and medicinal properties. The current study evaluates the anti-cancer and anti-proliferative properties of Annona cherimola ethanolic leaf extract (AELE) on Acute Myeloid Le ...

Annona cherimola Seed Extract Activates Extrinsic and Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathways in Leukemic Cells

Rita Sarkis

Annona cherimola Mill is a large green fruit with black seeds widely known to possess toxic properties due to the presence of Annonaceous acetogenins. The present study investigates the anti-cancer properties of an Annona cherimola Mill ethanolic seed extr ...

The corepressor NCOR1 regulates the survival of single-positive thymocytes

Johan Auwerx

Nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCOR1) is a transcriptional regulator bridging repressive chromatin modifying enzymes with transcription factors. NCOR1 regulates many biological processes, however its role in T cells is not known. Here we show that Cd4-Cre ...

In Situ Characterization of Bak Clusters Responsible for Cell Death Using Single Molecule Localization Microscopy

Suliana Manley, Aleksandr Benke

Apoptosis plays a pivotal role in development and tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Clustering of Bak proteins on the mitochondrial outer membrane is responsible for the induction of apoptosis by evoking a release of pro-apoptotic proteins fro ...

BIRO1, a Cell-Permeable BH3 Peptide, Promotes Mitochondrial Fragmentation and Death of Retinoblastoma Cells

Retinoblastoma is the most common pediatric intraocular neoplasm. While retinoblastoma development requires the inactivation of both alleles of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (RB1) in the developing retina, additional genomic changes are involved ...

Orphan nuclear receptor TR3 acts in autophagic cell death via mitochondrial signaling pathway

Friedrich Beermann, Yi Zhang, Jie Zhang, Yuan Liu, Qian Zhang, Li Li, Ang Li, Ping Chen, Bo Zhou, Rong Wu

Autophagy is linked to cell death, yet the associated mechanisms are largely undercharacterized. We discovered that melanoma, which is generally resistant to drug-induced apoptosis, can undergo autophagic cell death with the participation of orphan nuclear ...

The anti-lymphoma activity of APO866, an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis, is potentialized when used in combination with anti-CD20 antibody

Pierre Vogel, Somi Reddy Majjigapu, Bernard Sordat

APO866 is an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis that exhibits potent anti-lymphoma activity. Rituximab (RTX), an anti-CD20 antibody, kills lymphoma cells by direct apoptosis and antibody- and complement-dependent cell-mediate ...

Analysis of the Cytoprotective Role of alpha-Crystallins in Cell Survival and Implication of the alpha A-Crystallin C-Terminal Extension Domain in Preventing Bax-Induced Apoptosis

Séverine Hamann

alpha-Crystallins, initially described as the major structural proteins of the lens, belong to the small heat shock protein family. Apart from their function as chaperones, alpha-crystallins are involved in the regulation of intracellular apoptotic signals ...
