探讨紫杉醇对人自然杀伤细胞系NK-92MI细胞株杀伤活性及凋亡的影响。用不同浓度的紫杉醇处理NK.92MI细胞后,测定NK-92MI细胞的增殖率和对靶细胞的杀伤作用;同时检测NK·92MI细胞凋亡率及凋亡相关基因Bcl-2、Ba】【的表达。结果表明,紫杉醇可以抑制NK-92MI细胞增殖并且降低其杀伤活性,机制可能是通过诱导NK.92MI细胞的凋亡,而后者与Bcll2/Ba】【基因表达增高有关。  相似文献

p73 induces apoptosis by different mechanisms   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
p73, like its homologue, the tumor suppressor p53, is able to induce apoptosis in several cell types. This property is important for the involvement of p73 in cancer development and therapy. However, in contrast with p53, the TAp73 gene has two distinct promoters coding for two protein isoforms with opposite effects: while the transactivation proficient TAp73 shows pro-apoptotic effects, the amino-terminal-deleted DeltaNp73 has an anti-apoptotic function. Indeed, the relative expression of these two proteins is related to the prognosis of several cancers. Here we discuss recent developments in the control of p73-induced apoptosis. First, TAp73 induces ER stress via the direct transactivation of Scotin. Second, TAp73 induces the mitochondrial pathway by directly transactivating both Bax and the BH3 only protein PUMA promoters. While the first transactivation is weak, and not sufficient to trigger apoptosis (at least in the in vitro cellular models so far evaluated), the induction of PUMA is strong and lethal. Third, the promoter of the death receptor CD95 contains a p53 responsive element and preliminary experiments suggest that TAp73 also activates the death receptor pathway. In addition, TAp73 is able to transactivate its own second promoter, thus inducing the expression of the anti-apoptotic DeltaNp73 isoform. Therefore, the balance between TAp73 and DeltaNp73 finely regulates cellular sensitivity to death.  相似文献

We investigated the mechanisms by which TAp73 beta and dominant-negative p73 (Delta Np73) regulate apoptosis. TAp73 beta transactivated the CD95 gene via the p53-binding site in the first intron. In addition, TAp73 beta induced expression of proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members and led to apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. Endogenous TAp73 was upregulated in response to DNA damage by chemotherapeutic drugs. On the contrary, DeltaNp73 conferred resistance to chemotherapy. Inhibition of CD95 gene transactivation was one mechanism by which DeltaNp73 functionally inactivated the tumor suppressor action of p53 and TAp73 beta. Concomitantly, DeltaNp73 inhibited apoptosis emanating from mitochondria. Thus, DeltaNp73 expression in tumors selects against both the death receptor and the mitochondrial apoptosis activity of TAp73 beta. The importance of these data is evidenced by our finding that upregulation of DeltaNp73 in hepatocellular carcinoma patients correlates with reduced survival. Our data indicate that Delta Np73 is an important gene in hepatocarcinogenesis and a relevant prognostic factor.  相似文献
