IAP2/BIRC3, cIAP2, cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 2: Click to Expand ⟱

Source:

Type:

IAP2 (cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 2) is a member of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) protein family.
• Like its family members, IAP2 functions to regulate cell survival primarily by inhibiting caspases and other components of the apoptotic machinery.
• IAP2 also influences signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, which affects inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, and survival.

• Overexpression or dysregulation of IAP2 has been observed in various malignancies.
– Elevated IAP2 levels can help tumor cells evade apoptosis, promoting tumor growth and survival.
– IAP2, similar to IAP1, may contribute to resistance against chemotherapies and targeted therapies by blocking cell death pathways.

BIRC3 - Baculoviral IAP Repeat Containing 3 / Cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 2

Abbreviation: BIRC3, cIAP2

Type: Inhibitor of apoptosis protein / E3 ubiquitin ligase

Function: BIRC3/cIAP2 regulates apoptosis, inflammatory signaling, and cell survival through ubiquitination-dependent control of TNF receptor and NF-κB signaling pathways. It interacts with proteins including TRAF2 and RIPK1 and helps determine whether TNF-family signaling promotes survival, inflammation, or programmed cell death.

Cancer: ↕ Context-dependent. Increased BIRC3 can suppress apoptosis, activate NF-κB survival signaling, and promote resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several cancers. However, BIRC3 can also function as a tumor suppressor, particularly in some B-cell malignancies, where deletion or inactivating mutation is associated with increased NF-κB signaling, aggressive disease, and treatment resistance.

eff↑, combination of TQ and cisplatin in the treatment of lung cancer in a mouse xenograft model showed that TQ was able to inhibit cell proliferation (nearly 90%), reduce cell viability, induce apoptosis, and reduce tumor volume and tumor weight

Dual properties of Nigella Sative: Anti-oxidant and Pro-oxidant

Review,

NA,

ROS⇅, Pubmed data indicated that NS has both anti-oxidant and pro-oxidant properties in different cell types
*antiOx↑, NS acts as an anti-oxidant by scavenging ROS [4]. It can ameliorate ischemic reperfusion injury conditions and attenuated ROS in heart [5] intestine [6] and kidney [7]
*SOD↑, improved the activities of various enzymes like superoxide dismutase [SOD] and myeloperoxidase (MPO)
*MPO↑,
*neuroP↑, NS oil has been found to be neuroprotective against oxidative stress in epileptogenesis, pilocarpine-induced seizures [25] and opioid tolerance
*chemoP↑, Anticancer drugs leave toxic effect due to over-production of ROS. NS oil or TQ can potentially up-regulate anti-oxidant mechanisms caused by anticancer drug
*radioP↑, NS seed extracts can protect normal tissue from oxidative damage during radiotherapy of cancer patients [35,36]
NF-kB↓, TQ has been shown to exhibit down regulation of NF-κB expression in lung cancer cells
IAP1↓, Anti-apoptotic (IAP1, IAP2, XIAP Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, survivin), proliferative (cyclin D1, cyclooxygenase-2, and c-Myc) and angiogenic genes (matrix metalloproteinase-9 orMMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were down-regulated
IAP2/BIRC3↓,
XIAP↓,
Bcl-xL↓,
survivin↓,
COX2/PTGS2↓,
MMP9↓,
VEGF↓,
ROS↑, TQ causes release of ROS in ABC cells which in turn inhibits NF-κB activity
P21↑, TQ up regulated the expression of p21 and down regulated the histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity and induced histone hyperacetylation causing induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation in pancreatic cancer cell
HDAC↓,
GSH↓, TQ was found to decrease glutathione (GSH) levels in prostate cancer cells resulting in up-regulated expression of GADD45 alpha (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene) and AIF
GADD45A↑,
AIF↑,
STAT3↓, TQ suppressed the STAT 3; the signal transducer and activator of transcription which is involved in the abnormal transformation of a number of human malignancies [53].

TQ,

Anti-cancer properties and mechanisms of action of thymoquinone, the major active ingredient of Nigella sativa

Review,

Var,

HDAC↓, Intraperitoneal injection of TQ (10 mg/kg) for 18 days was associated with significant 39% inhibition of LNM35 xenograft tumor growth, with a significant increase in caspase-3 activity and a significant decrease in histone deacetylase-2 (HDAC2)
TumCCA↑, TQ treatment caused a G0/G1 cell-cycle arrest due to decreased cyclin D1 level and increased expression of p16, a CDK inhibitor (Gali-Muhtasib et al., 2004b)
cycD1/CCND1↓,
p16↑,
P53↑, increased expression of p53,
Bax:Bcl2↑, TQ significantly induced apoptosis in both cell lines by increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and decreasing Bcl-xL
Bcl-xL↓,
NF-kB↓, 25 mM TQ was accompanied by down-regulated expression of NF-kB-targeted anti-apoptotic factors (IAP1, IAP2, XIAP Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and survivin)
IAP1↓,
IAP2/BIRC3↓,
XIAP↓,
survivin↓,
COX2/PTGS2↓, and proliferative factors (cyclin D1, COX-2, and c-Myc) due to suppressed NF-kB signaling
cMyc↓,
ROS↑, TQ-induced oxidative damage,
Casp3↑, TQ-induced activation of caspase-3, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage, and the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytoplasm
cl‑PARP↑,
Cyt‑c↑,
STAT3↓, TQ (5-20 uM) significantly suppressed the constitutive as well as IL-6-induced STAT3, but not STAT5, activation in U266 cells and RPMI-8226 cells
