Abstract

To demonstrate the radiation responses of tafazzin (TAZ) protein in colon cancer. TAZ expression was examined in colon cancer cell lines SW480, KM12C, SW620 and KM12L4a. KM12C and KM12L4a cell lines were used for this experiment with exposure to X- and UV rays (mW/cm2). HCT15 cell line was used to test the expression of TAZ by using an anti-TAZ drug, namely 9-fluorenone, which is a Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling inhibitor. The experimentation also involved exposing HCT15 cell line, to UV radiation. Cell proliferation and apoptosis studies were carried out. TAZ interactions with oncoproteins were screened and the oncoproteins Livin, MAC30 and FXYD-3 were considered for in silico protein-protein interaction studies. TAZ protein was significantly downregulated after 2 Gy radiations. 9-Fluorenone inhibited the expression of TAZ. Action of 9-fluorenone along with radiation, decreased the percentage of proliferation and increased apoptosis. Computational studies predicted that TAZ interacts with the oncoproteins Livin, MAC30 and FXYD-3. Our results suggest that TAZ plays a significant role in non-metastatic KM12C cells and is predominantly seen in the colon cancer cells isolated from primary stages of cancer. Thus, use of TAZ protein as a b...Continue Reading

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.
