Abstract

2,3-Dihydro-7-hydroxy-2R*,3R*-dimethyl-2-[4,8-dimethyl-3(E),7-nonadienyl]-furo[3,2-c]coumarin (named DAW22), a sesquiterpene coumarin isolated from the roots of Ferula ferulaeoides (Steud.) Korov., has been reported to bear anti-proliferative activities toward different types of cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrated that DAW22 induced apoptosis in C6 glioma cells. Subsequently, we found that DAW22-induced apoptosis in C6 glioma cells occurred via the mitochondria-mediated and death-receptor pathways. Moreover, we found a massive cytoplasmic vacuolization, a dramatic change of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), up-regulation of CHOP and cleavage of caspase-12, suggesting that DAW22-induced apoptosis is involved in ER stress. In addition, we revealed that DAW22 treatment induced the activation of PERK, ATF6α and IRE1α. We further found that knockdown of CHOP affected DAW22-induced apoptosis, and DAW22-stimulated down-regulation of Bcl-2, caspase-8 activation and PARP cleavage were inhibited. Taken together, these results demonstrate that DAW22 induces apoptosis by ER stress and mitochondrial/death-receptor pathways, which may provide a new clue for exploiting this compound as a potential anti-neoplastic drug in future glioma canc...Continue Reading

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.

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.

Bioinformatics in Biomedicine

Bioinformatics in biomedicine incorporates computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. Discover the latest research on bioinformatics in biomedicine here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

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
