Complement C5b-9 and Cancer: Mechanisms of Cell Damage, Cancer Counteractions, and Approaches for Intervention
In conclusion, osmotic burst of inflated complement-damaged cells may occur, but these bursts are most likely a consequence of metabolic collapse of the cell rather than the cause of cell death. The Complement Cell Death Mediator: A Concerted Action of Toxic Moieties Membrane pores caused by complement were first visualized by electron microscopy on red blood cell membranes as large ring structures (22). Similar lesions were viewed on E. coli cell walls (23). Over the years, ample information on the fine ultrastructure of the MAC that can activate cell death has been gathered (24) and has been recently further examined (...

Senescence marker protein 30 protects intestinal epithelial cells against inflammation-induced cell death by enhancing Nrf2 activity
Publication date: December 2018Source: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, Volume 1864, Issue 12Author(s): Jieun Choo, Gwangbeom Heo, Su Jin Kim, Yunna Lee, Akihito Ishigami, Naoki Maruyama, Hae Young Chung, Eunok ImAbstractSenescence marker protein 30 (SMP30) is a calcium-binding protein whose expression decreases during senescence. SMP30 deficiency increases susceptibility to cytokine-induced apoptosis in the liver and to radiation-induced apoptosis in the small intestine. Furthermore, colonic epithelial cell death is associated with the severity of colitis. Therefore, in the present study, ...

TNF- α promotes colon cancer cell migration and invasion by upregulating TROP-2.
In conclusion, the present results demonstrated that low concentrations of TNF-α significantly enhanced colon cancer cell migration and invasion by upregulating TROP-2 via the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. PMID: 29467899 [PubMed]
