Recently, blockage of p53-dependent transcriptional activation and apoptosis by pifithrin-alpha (PFTalpha) has been reported to be useful for reducing the side effects of cancer therapy and the compound is thus thought to be a specific inhibitor of p53 [Komarov et al., Science 1999;285:1733-1737]. H
It is now generally accepted that massive neuronal death due to oxidative stress is a regular feature of brains in neurodegenerative diseases. However, much less attention has been given to the death of glial cells. In this study, we examined p53-sensitive apoptosis of cells by using human glioblast
This review covers recent advances of CD95 signaling. It focuses on CD95-interacting molecules, formation of the death inducing signaling complex and the role of caspases, particularly caspase-8, and their death substrates. We also discuss the relevance of mitochondria in the CDg5-mediated apoptotic
