## Abstract The mitochondria‐mediated apoptotic pathway is regulated by members of the Bcl‐2 family. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces Bad phosphorylation at Ser~112~ via mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK), impairing its binding to Bcl‐2 and Bcl‐xL and interfering with their anti‐apoptotic
a b s t r a c t 2-Hydroxycinnamaldehyde (HCA) and curcumin have been reported to have antitumor effects against various human tumor cells in vitro and in vivo by generation of ROS. Aldehyde-free HCA analogs were synthesized based on the structure of curcumin, which we have called 2-hydroxycurcuminoi
## Abstract Cadmium, a well‐known environmental hazard, has caused serious health problems in humans and animals. Accumulating evidence suggests the cadmium toxicity is mediated by oxidative stress‐induced cell death. However, the molecular signaling underlying cadmium‐induced apoptosis remains unc
## Abstract ## Background The caspase‐3 gene is expressed at significantly lower levels in human hepatocellular carcinomas than in normal hepatocytes. Gene transfer technologies offer the possibility to restore caspase‐3 gene expression. We explored the interest for cancer gene therapy of a consti
