Cell Death inducing microbial protein phosphatase inhibitors-mechanisms of action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-22)Okadaic acid (OA) and microcystin (MC) as well as several other microbial toxins like nodularin and calyculinA are known as tumor promoters as well as inducers of apoptotic cell death. Their intracellular targets are the ... -
Effect of nerve injury on the number of dorsal root ganglion neurons and autotomy behavior in adult Bax-deficient mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-30)Background: The proapoptotic molecule BAX, plays an important role in mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons depend on neurotrophic factors for survival at early developmental stages. Withdrawal ... -
Investigation of the apoptotic pathway in glioblastoma in the context of suicide gene therapy
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)Glioblastoma is a highly malignant, aggressive and most common primary brain tumor in adults. Tremendous research efforts have been conducted in the field of GBM treatment discovery and succcess has only been achieved at ... -
Marine Benthic Cyanobacteria Contain Apoptosis-Inducing Activity Synergizing with Daunorubicin to Kill Leukemia Cells, but not Cardiomyocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10-14)The potential of marine benthic cyanobacteria as a source of anticancer drug candidates was assessed in a screen for induction of cell death (apoptosis) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Of the 41 marine cyanobacterial ... -
Mesenchymal stem cells support survival and proliferation of primary human acute myeloid leukemia cells through heterogeneous molecular mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02-09)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a bone marrow malignancy, and various bone marrow stromal cells seem to support leukemogenesis, including osteoblasts and endothelial cells. We have investigated how normal bone marrow ... -
The Natural Flavonoid Galangin Elicits Apoptosis, Pyroptosis, and Autophagy in Glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)Galangin (GG), a flavonoid, elicits a potent antitumor activity in diverse cancers. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of GG in the treatment of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and investigated the molecular basis for its ...
