Journal ArticleDOI

A cardinal role for cathepsin d in co-ordinating the host-mediated apoptosis of macrophages and killing of pneumococci.

TL;DR: It is shown that lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and cytosolic translocation of activated cathepsin D occur prior to activation of a mitochondrial pathway of macrophage apoptosis in pulmonary host defense and underscores the importance of apoptosis-associated microbial killing to macrophages function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical Involvement of Extracellular ATP Acting on P2RX7 Purinergic Receptors in Photoreceptor Cell Death

TL;DR: The results encourage the potential application of Brilliant Blue G as a novel neuroprotective agent in retinal diseases or similar neurodegenerative pathologies linked to excessive extracellular ATP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase activation is not death.

TL;DR: Caspase inhibition can actually encourage death in tumor necrosis factor–induced shock, indicating that caspase activation is not synonymous with apoptotic demise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxaliplatin-induced mitochondrial apoptotic response of colon carcinoma cells does not require nuclear DNA.

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that oxaliplatin exerts its cytotoxic effects by inducing mitochondrial apoptosis and that these effects can be initiated by interacting on other cellular structures than nuclear DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-Surface-Expressed HIV-1 Envelope Induces the Death of CD4 T Cells during GP41-Mediated Hemifusion-like Events

TL;DR: It is concluded that after gp120 function, gp41 mediates close cell-to-cell contacts, thereby triggering cell death in single uninfected cells in the absence of detectable cell- to-cell fusion.
