Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-beta signalling from cell membrane to nucleus through SMAD proteins

TL;DR: Inhibitory SMADs have been identified that block the activation of these pathway-restricted SMADS that direct transcription to effect the cell's response to TGF-β.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammalian thioredoxin is a direct inhibitor of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK) 1.

TL;DR: Evidence that Trx is a negative regulator of ASK1 suggests possible mechanisms for redox regulation of the apoptosis signal transduction pathway as well as the effects of antioxidants against cytokine‐ and stress‐induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of Apoptosis by ASK1, a Mammalian MAPKKK That Activates SAPK/JNK and p38 Signaling Pathways

TL;DR: Overexpression of ASK1 induced apoptotic cell death, andASK1 was activated in cells treated with tumor necrosis factor-α, and TNF-α-induced apoptosis was inhibited by a catalytically inactive form of AsK1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of sub-100 nm polymeric micelles in poorly permeable tumours depends on size

TL;DR: It is shown that the penetration and efficacy of the larger micelles could be enhanced by using a transforming growth factor-β inhibitor to increase the permeability of the tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

ASK1 is required for sustained activations of JNK/p38 MAP kinases and apoptosis

TL;DR: It is shown that by deleting ASK1 in mice, TNF‐ and H2O2‐induced sustained activations of JNK and p38 are lost inASK1−/− embryonic fibroblasts, and that ASK 1−-/− cells are resistant to TNF- and H1N1‐induced apoptosis.
