CASP3 overexpression

GA-CDs demonstrated potent anticancer properties by inducing apoptosis and reducing cell viability in HCT-116 cells. These findings suggest the potential of GA-CDs as a novel therapeutic agent for colorectal cancer treatment, warranting further investigation into their mechanism of action and in vivo efficacy.

Octahydroquinazoline 10 displayed an increase in caspase-3 by 1.12 folds compared to standard colchicine and induce apoptosis and demonstrated cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase arrest by targeting p53 pathway. Analogue 10 has considerably promoted cytotoxic radiation activity and boosted apoptotic induction in HepG-2 cells by 1.5 fold higher than standard colchicine.

The treated groups (except 6) had significantly higher expression of Bax/Caspase 3 genes and lower expression of Bcl-2 genes than the control group (P < 0.05, 0.01). Coadministration of Dox with probiotics and vitamin D3 showed promising results in reducing tumor size, protecting intestinal tissue and influencing gene expression, suggesting a strategy to enhance the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment while reducing side effects.

In vitro analyses revealed significant anti-cancer effects of SPGE extract in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines (cytotoxicity, caspase-3/-7, Bcl-2, Annexin V/PI, cell cycle, BrdU, and mitochondrial membrane potential). Our study demonstrates the significant chemopreventive and treatment effects of salvia haulm using animal or in vitro BC models.

The more excellent ratios of infiltrating CD8+/CD4+ T cells, the decreased invasion of regulatory FOXP3+ Treg lymphocytes, and the increased apoptosis brought on by Caspase9/Caspase-3 overexpression and Survivin downregulation may all contribute to the consequences. Our findings suggest that in people with advanced GC, H. pylori pIRES2-DsRed-Express-ureF DNA vaccines may have immunotherapeutic utility.

The findings of this research illustrated the suppression of BATF3 as an effective targeted therapy strategy for CML.

Overexpression of caspase-3 and GSDME accelerated irradiation-induced ICD. In summary, irradiation in EC cells induces GSDME-mediated pyroptosis and activates ICD to inhibit esophageal carcinoma cell survival.

Cellular assays revealed a synergistic effect of sinensetin on IFNγ -triggered anticancer action in HepG2 cells through overexpression of caspase-3 mRNA and protein. In conclusion, this study may hold great promise for the development of potential ligand- protein complexes for therapeutic purposes.

What is more, CASP3 overexpression or CD274 knockdown promoted the role of ononin in TC cells. Ononin treatment induced the cell death of the TC cells through regulating the CASP3 and CD274 expressions.

In addition, ipconazole at 50 µM induced an overexpression of Bax, Casp3, APAF1, and BNIP3 (cell death genes); NLRP3, Casp1, and IL1B (inflammasome complex genes); and NFκB, TNFα, and IL6 (inflammation genes); it also reduced the expression of NRF2, SOD, and GPx (antioxidant genes). Our results show that ipconazole produces cytotoxic effects by reducing cell viability, generating oxidative stress, and inducing cell death in SH-SY5Y cells, so ipconazole exposure should be considered as a factor in the presentation of neurotoxicity or neurodegeneration.

In conclusion, we established a prognostic model of PRG characteristics in ACC and analyzed the relationship between PRGs and immune infiltration. Through our study, it may be helpful to find the mechanism of pyroptosis in ACC.

Phenylahistin is a naturally occurring marine product with a diketopiperazine structure that can bind to the colchicine site of microtubulin as a possible anticancer agent. Importantly, the continuous administration of 15p resulted in a lower toxicity than that of docetaxel (10 mg/kg) and cyclophosphamide (20 mg/kg). Overall, the novel allyl-imidazole-diketopiperazine-type derivatives could be considered safe and effective potential agents for cancer treatment.

The exposed phospholipid phosphatidylserine was identified, and the treatment triggered a high expression of Caspase 3. A stable Amazon butter-based SLN-AlPc formulation was developed, which exhibits strong in vitro photodynamic activity on melanoma cells.

In addition, larger tumors showed larger necrotic areas (38% with respect to the total tumor) (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, the UM + LunLip treatment was effective when applied either subcutaneously or topically in the melanoma tumor-developing groups, as it slowed down cell proliferation and activated apoptosis.

Also, compound 8c was able to induce caspase-3 overexpression (6.98 folds), if compared to control. Finally, molecular docking studies and physicochemical properties calculation of compounds 8b, 8c, 9e and 9f were carried out to explain the biological data and to predict bioavailability of the most active compounds.

The I-Var 3-pHLIP group presented a lower expression of Ki67 and a higher expression of caspase 3. Radioiodine-labeled Var3-pHLIP effectively targeted BC cells in an acidic environment and inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 xenografts by ionizing radiation.

In clinic, the most effective approach to treat pancreatic cancers is the combination treatment of several chemotherapeutic drugs, including fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX), but this approach is not adequate to manage patients due to their severe toxic side effects. The CDM directly (intratumoral) injected into pancreatic cancers in orthotopic models through an invasive approach significantly delayed the tumor progression by combinational photo-chemotherapy with less toxic side effects. This study offers a promising and alternative approach for safe and more effective pancreatic cancer treatment via prodrug nanoparticles that combine photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy.

Phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR in lung adenocarcinoma cells were reduced by BDH2 over-expression. In conclusion, BDH2 functioned as a tumor suppressor in lung adenocarcinoma through promotion of Akt/mTOR-mediated cell apoptosis and autophagy.

The low expression levels of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and cleaved caspase-3, high expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (p-PI3K), and phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) were detected in AMI mouse models treated with HUVECs-derived exosomes in-vivo. In conclusion, HUVECs-derived exosomes effectively enhanced cardiac function after AMI and inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis, which might be regulated through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/ protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway.

Additionally, TAL combined with Poly I:C or CpG-ODN more increased TLR3, TLR9 and IRF7 protein levels in HCC1937 cells and treatment with TAL and Poly I:C had greater potential for overcoming TAL resistance. In conclusion, the combination of PARPi with TLR agonists may be a new therapeutic combined strategy for the effective immunotherapy of TNBC.

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is conjugated onto the surface of Au via caspase-3 responsive peptide (DEVD) and the therapeutic process of gas therapy can be optically self-reported by the fluorescence of FITC that is turned on in the presence of overexpressed caspase-3 as an apoptosis indicator. Au@MnO nanomotors show self-reported therapeutic efficacy and high biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo, offering important new insights to the design and development of novel nanomotors for efficient payload delivery into deep tumor tissue and in situ monitoring of the therapeutic process.

Our results suggest PAC-1 + TMZ as a potentially efficacious combination for the treatment of human meningioma, and also demonstrate the utility of including pet dogs with meningioma as a means to assess anticancer strategies for this common brain tumor.
