Abstract

Multiple myeloma is an incurable plasma cell malignancy. The 26S proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, selectively induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells; however, the mechanism by which this compound acts remains unknown. Here, we, using immunoblotting analysis, observed that the expression of BiP, CHOP, and XBP-1 is up-regulated in bortezomib-induced apoptosis in human multiple myeloma cell lines NCI-H929 and RPMI-8226/S, strongly suggesting that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response or the unfolded protein response (UPR), a signaling pathway activated by the accumulation of unfolded proteins within ER, is initiated. In the meantime, we also showed that bortezomib inhibited classic ER stressor brefeldin A-induced up-regulation of prosurvival UPR components BiP and XBP-1, resulting in increased induction of apoptosis in multiple myeloma cell lines, raising the possibility that bortezomib induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells by means of evoking the severe ER stress but disrupting the prosurvival UPR required. Using caspase inhibitors and a RNA interference approach, we finally confirmed that bortezomib-triggered apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells is dependent on caspase-2 activation, which is associated with ER st...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
