ABL therefore can specifically suppress apoptosis.
Moreover, NO-dependent apoptosis can be blocked in most cases through the use of permeability transition or caspase inhibitors.
We have identified “windows of opportunity” at which time apoptosis can be aborted and cells can be reversed from the death pathway.
After this careful reflection I am convinced that apoptosis is merely the complex machinery of cellular decay after energy generation has irreversibly stopped.
Our data showed that in particular micronucleated cells, originating from chromosome loss can be eliminated by apoptosis.
We showed that apoptosis precedes necrosis in humans, but the detection of apoptosis cannot be used as a diagnostic tool, since it can also be triggered by nonischemic events.
There is some evidence that certain symptoms of "apoptosis" such as endonuclease activation can be spuriously induced without engaging a genetic cascade, however, presumably true apoptosis and programmed cell death must be genetically mediated.
Moreover, apoptosis of tumor cells can also be achieved by targeting the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, IAPs, in addition to the classical antiproliferative approach.
It is suggested that apoptosis can be specifically regulated pharmacologically and could be exploited to develop new drug therapies.
These non-apoptotic cell death modalities can be either triggered independently of apoptosis or are engaged should apoptosis fail to execute.
