Apoptosis is intimately connected to cell cycle regulation via the Retinoblastoma (Rb)-E2F pathway and thereby serves an essential role in tumor suppression by eliminating aberrant hyperproliferative cells. Upon loss of Rb activity, an apoptotic response can be elicited through both p53-dependent and p53-independent mechanisms. While much of this apoptotic response has been attributed to the p19ARF/p53...
Aim of study was to verify whether pulsating electromagnetic field (PEMF) can affect cancer cells proliferation and death. U937 human lymphoid cell line at densities starting from 1x106 cells/ml to 0.0625x106 cells/ml, were exposed to a pulsating magnetic field 50Hz, 45±5 mT three times for 3 h per each stimulation with 24 h intervals. Proliferation has been studied by counting number of cells stimulated...
The ubiquitin-proteasome system is responsible for the degradation of most intracellular proteins, including those that control cell cycle progression, apoptosis, signal transduction and the NF-κB transcriptional pathway. Aberrations in the ubiquitin-proteasome system underlie the pathogenesis of many human diseases, so both the ubiquitin-conjugating system and the 20S proteasome are important targets...
Neurotrophins promote survival and suppress apoptosis in many populations of neurons. Currently, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) is recognized as the main mediator of this protective effect. However, most of the data collected so far on the anti-apoptotic signaling of neurotrophins were obtained using trophic withdrawal paradigms. Recent data from our and other groups indicate that extracellular-signal-regulated...
