Opis:
A most normal cell can die by apoptosis but tumor cells very often have some defects in the apoptotic pathway, leading not only to the increase of tumor mass but also to tumor resistance to chemotherapy. Since chemotherapy and irradiation act primarily by inducing apoptosis, defects in the apoptotic pathway make the therapy less efficient. Generally, there are two pathways of apoptosis. One - mediated by the cell surface death receptors - the extrinsic pathway, the other mediated by the mitochondria - intrinsic pathway. The common element in those two ways is activation of caspase 3. However, in some cases we can observe cell death without activation of this enzyme. One of the often occurring mechanism of resistance to apoptosis is overexpression of the Bcl-2 family antyapoptotic proteins like Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, or lower expression of proapoptotic proteins like Bax, Bid, Bad. Another mechanism observed in tumor cells is overexpression of apoptosis inhibitors namely IAPs and FLIP. They play an important role in degradation or inactivation of executor caspases and protect cells from apoptosis. A key element in stress-induced apoptosis is p53 protein which can induce the expression of proteins involved in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Mutations in p53 are common in many tumors and affect their ability to undergo cell death. In many tumor cells also the survival signal is stronger than usually and induction of apoptosis is more difficult. One of survival pathways is connected with the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway. Also cells with high expression of Hsp70 protein are protected from apoptosis, especially that leading through mitochondria. Cells with MDR (multidrug resistance) phenotype, expressing proteins from the ABC superfamily on cell surface, are able to exclude many of the drugs (including anticancer drugs) from cytoplasm. There are some evidences that cell possessing membrane transporters are resistant to that form of apoptosis connected with activation of caspase 3. The knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of tumor resistance to apoptosis can improve cancer therapy through resensitization of tumor cells.

Opis:
UVC-induced apoptotic symptoms such as morphological changes, DNA fragmentation, Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression were examined in primary splenocyte cultures from young (3 months) and old (24 months) rats. The activities of AP-1 and CRE transcription factors in UVC-irradiated splenocytes were also assessed. At 24 h after UVC irradiation 40% of cells derived from young rats were found to be apoptotic, which was twice as much as in splenocytes from old rats. Apoptosis in cells from old rats did not give typical symptoms like a "DNA ladder" and Bcl-2 protein downregulation, in contrast to splenocytes from young rats. No AP-1 transcription factor activity was found in UVC-irradiated splenocytes from old animals and only a trace activity in splenocytes from young animals. This indicates that, UVC-induced apoptosis in rat splenocytes is practically AP-1 independent and that cells from old rats are less sensitive to UVC irradiation than splenocytes from young rats.

Opis:
Cytotoxic CD8+ cells play an important role in determining host response to tumor, thus chemotherapy is potentially dangerous as it may lead to T cells depletion. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the propensity of quiescent and proliferating human CD8+ cells to undergo cell death upon treatment with curcumin, a natural dye in Phase I of clinical trials as a prospective chemopreventive agent. Methods: We treated human quiescent or proliferating CD8+ cells with 50 µM curcumin or irradiated them with UVC. Cell death symptoms such as decreased cell viability, chromatin condensation, activation of caspase-3 and specific DFF40/CAD endonuclease and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation were analyzed using MTT test, microscopic observation, Western blotting and flow cytometry. Results: Curcumin decreased cell viability, activated caspase-3 and decreased the level of DFF45/ICAD, the inhibitor of the DFF40/CAD endonuclease. However, this did not lead to oligonucleosomal DNA degradation. In contrast, UVC-irradiated proliferating, but not quiescent CD8+ cells revealed molecular and morphological changes characteristic for apoptosis, including oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Curcumin can induce cell death in normal human lymphocytes both quiescent and proliferating, without oligonucleosomal DNA degradation which is considered as a main hallmark of apoptotic cell death. Taking into account the role of CD8+ cells in tumor response, their depletion during chemotherapy could be particularly undesirable.
