Apoptosis in cancer

TL;DR: An intense research effort is uncovering the underlying mechanisms of apoptosis such that, in the next decade, one envisions that this information will produce new strategies to exploit apoptosis for therapeutic benefit.

Mitochondrial glutathione, a key survival antioxidant.

TL;DR: From the evaluation ofmGSH influence on different pathologic settings such as hypoxia, ischemia/reperfusion injury, aging, liver diseases, and neurologic disorders, it is becoming evident that it has an important role in the pathophysiology and biomedical strategies aimed to boost mGSH levels.

Surface exposure of phosphatidylserine in pathological cells.

TL;DR: This review aims at highlighting how PS expression in different cells may complicate a variety of pathological conditions, including those that promote thromboembolic complications or produce aberrations in apoptotic cell removal.

Pharmacology of nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor-induced mitochondrial toxicity

TL;DR: NRTls can block both HIV reverse transcriptase and mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, and inhibition of the latter enzyme is the most likely cause of the adverse effects associated with these drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA mutations in human cancer.

TL;DR: A detailed summary of mtDNA mutations that have been reported in various types of cancer is provided and some perspective is offered as to the origin of these of mutations, their functional consequences in cancer development, and possible therapeutic implications.

Induction of apoptotic program in cell-free extracts : requirement for datp and cytochrome c

TL;DR: Cells undergoing apoptosis in vivo showed increased release of cy tochrome c to their cytosol, suggesting that mitochondria may function in apoptosis by releasing cytochrome c.

Prevention of Apoptosis by Bcl-2: Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria Blocked

TL;DR: One possible role of Bcl-2 in prevention of apoptosis is to block cytochrome c release from mitochondria, which is normally located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
