Abstract

Cancer treatment with several kinds of drugs, especially targets the apoptotic pathways nowadays. TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) as one of the important members of death receptors, significantly trigger induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. Three conserved domains of Death receptor (DR5) protein extracellular domain, which are fortified cysteine, were chosen and chemically synthesised. Hens were immunised with nano-liposomal peptides, and as a result the purified Immunoglobulin (IgYs) remarkably killed the cancerous MCF7 cells. The flow cytometric assay, confirmed the apoptotic death. Among several kinds of carriers that were used in this research, the nano-liposomal and nanoparticle conjugated, both were acceptable choices for drug delivery. Furthermore, the IgY against DR5's small peptides with such carriers successfully reached the target and significantly killed the cancer cells via apoptosis.

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

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.
