Apoptosis induced by proteasome inhibition in cancer cells: predominant role of the p53/PUMA pathway

TL;DR: It is suggested that p53 activation and the transcriptional induction of its target gene PUMA play an important role in the sensitivity of cancer cells to apoptosis induced by proteasome inhibition, and imply that antineoplastic therapies with PIs might be especially useful in cancers with functional p53.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the apoptotic machinery in tumor suppression.

TL;DR: The processes by which some of these prominent tumor suppressors trigger apoptotic cell death are discussed and how this process protects us from cancer development is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proapoptotic BH3-only protein Bid is essential for death receptor-induced apoptosis of pancreatic beta-cells.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that Bid is essential for death receptor–induced apoptosis of islets, similar to its demonstrated role in hepatocytes, and indicates that blocking Bid activity may be useful for protection of islet from immune-mediated attack and possibly also in other pathological states in which β-cells are destroyed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bcl-2-regulated apoptosis and cytochrome c release can occur independently of both caspase-2 and caspase-9.

TL;DR: It is suggested that caspases other than caspase 2 and 9 can promote cytochrome c release and initiate Bcl-2–regulated apoptosis, and lymphocytes and fibroblasts lacking both remained sensitive to diverse apoptotic stimuli.
