Abstract

What determines the degree of cell-resistance or sensitivity to ionizing radiation is not yet known. As a corollary to the ability of ceramide to induce apoptosis, some questions arise as to whether malignant cells escape apoptosis because of their inability to mount a ceramide response to inducers of apoptosis. To shed more light on the molecular mechanisms of tumor cell response to radiation, we tested whether exposure to ionizing radiation (of 200-1000 cGy) is associated with changes in ceramide levels in A431 tumor epithelial cells and whether the ability of ceramide to induce apoptosis is inhibited by protein kinase C (PKC) activation. Our studies demonstrate an immediate decrease in cellular levels of ceramide in response to radiation, while sphingosine levels increase. Under the same conditions the cellular 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) levels decrease as well, being accompanied by the translocation of PKC alpha from the membrane to the cytoplasm. Elevation of membrane PKC levels by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) treatment had no effect on cell survival after irradiation, while treatment with EGF during and after irradiation augmented cell survival. Moreover, monoclonal antibodies to the EGF receptor (EGFR) sensit...Continue Reading

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

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.
