Type:
Members of the caspase family of proteases play essential roles in the initiation and execution of apoptosis. These caspases are divided into two groups: the initiator caspases (caspase-2, −8, −9 and −10), which are the first to be activated in response to a signal, and the executioner caspases (caspase-3, −6, and −7) that carry out the demolition phase of apoptosis. Downregulation of caspase-3 is an effective apoptosis-evading mechanism frequently observed in cancer cells in association with acquired chemoresistance to apoptosis-inducing anticancer drugs. Indeed, re-expression of caspase-3 often restores sensitivity to apoptosis.
Caspase-7:
Role: Executioner caspase similar to caspase-3.
Cancers: Expression levels can vary; often studied in breast and prostate cancers.
Prognosis: Its prognostic value is less clear and may depend on the cancer type.

506- MF,  doxoR,    Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Stimulation Promotes Anti-cell Proliferative Activity in Doxorubicin-treated Mouse Osteosarcoma Cells
- in-vitro, OS, LM8
TumCP↓,
p‑CHK1↓, reducing the increased expression of total IĸB and phosphorylated-CHK1 induced by doxorubicin
Ca+2↑, caused by PEMF alone
Casp3↓, PEMF stimulation significantly reduced the enhancement of caspase 3/7 activity by doxorubicin at 24 h
Casp7↓, PEMF stimulation significantly reduced the enhancement of caspase 3/7 activity by doxorubicin at 24 h
p‑BAD↓,
ChemoSen↑, Our results indicate that combination of PEMF and doxorubicin could be a novel chemotherapeutic strategy.

3554- TQ,    Neuroprotective efficacy of thymoquinone against amyloid beta-induced neurotoxicity in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cholinergic neurons
- in-vitro, AD, NA
*GSH↑, TQ restored the decrease in the intracellular antioxidant enzyme glutathione levels and inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species induced by Aβ1–42.
*ROS↓,
*neuroP↑, Thus, the findings of our study suggest that TQ holds a neuroprotective potential and could be a promising therapeutic agent to reduce the risk of developing AD and other disorders of the central nervous system.
*Casp3↓, Aβ1–42 (5 μM) induced about 90% increase in the caspase 3/7 activities (**P < 0.01). However, TQ (100 nM) co-treatment restored caspase 3/7 activities to control sample level
*Casp7↓,
*antiOx↓, strong antioxidant capabilities, TQ has been demonstrated to protect the brain and the spinal cord from oxidative damage generated by different pathologies induced by a variety of free radicals
*H2O2↓, Intriguingly, the co-treatment with TQ restored the content of GSH and significantly inhibited the apparent increase in H2O2.
