Fas Cancer Research Results

Fas, Fas Death receptor: Click to Expand ⟱

Source:

Type:

Fas (also known as CD95 or APO-1) and Fas ligand (FasL) are proteins that play a crucial role in the regulation of programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis.

The Fas/FasL system is involved in the elimination of damaged or unwanted cells, including cancer cells.
Fas agonists, which mimic the action of FasL, have been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. FasL inhibitors, which block the interaction between Fas and FasL, have been shown to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and immunotherapy

Fas is often expressed ,and may be associated with better responses to chemotherapy, but its role in promoting cell survival in certain contexts can complicate its prognostic implications.

selectivity↑, selectively ablate solid tumors, suppress metastatic spread, and prime systemic anti-tumor immunity while sparing adjacent normal tissue [7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].
CSCs↓, Preclinical investigations have demonstrated that nsPEFs significantly reduce CSC-associated subpopulations, including CD44+/CD24− cells in breast cancer xenografts and CD133+ glioma stem-like cells
CD44↓,
CD133↓,
ROS↑, nsPEFs release Ca2+ from the ER, disrupt mitochondrial membrane potential, induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and perturb nuclear chromatin structure within nanoseconds

DNAdam↑, figure 2
MOMP↑, induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP)

UPR↑, This rapid surge triggers ER stress pathways, activates unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling, and promotes cross-talk with mitochondria through mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs)
Dose↝, longer ns pulses (100–300 ns) generate sustained plasma membrane charging, resulting in robust Ca2+ influx, osmotic imbalance, and apoptotic priming.
Dose↝, A critical threshold of 10–20 kV/cm is generally required to initiate pore formation in malignant cells, with higher amplitudes (>30–40 kV/cm) producing more extensive permeabilization [100].
Dose↓, Low pulse counts (<100) frequently produce reversible stress responses, such as transient mitochondrial depolarization or ER Ca2+ release, without committing cells to apoptosis. I
Dose↑, In contrast, higher pulse counts (500–1000) lead to irreversible apoptosis, caspase activation, and release of DAMPs that initiate ICD [80,106].
HMGB1↓, ICD after nsPEF is characterized by surface exposure of calreticulin, extracellular ATP release, and HMGB1 emission
eff↑, The integration of nsPEFs with NP-based systems thus represents a synergistic platform where physical membrane poration and molecular targeting cooperate to maximize therapeutic efficacy.

PEITC,

Phenethyl Isothiocyanate: A comprehensive review of anti-cancer mechanisms

Review,

Var,

Risk↓, strong inverse relationship between dietary intake of cruciferous vegetables and the incidence of cancer.
AntiCan↑, Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is present as gluconasturtiin in many cruciferous vegetables with remarkable anti-cancer effects.
TumCP↓, PEITC targets multiple proteins to suppress various cancer-promoting mechanisms such as cell proliferation, progression and metastasis
TumMeta↓,
ChemoSen↑, combination of PEITC with conventional anti-cancer agents is also highly effective in improving overall efficacy
*BioAv↑, ITCs are released from glucosinolates by the action of the enzyme myrosinase. The enzyme myrosinase can be activated by cutting or chewing the vegetables, but heating can destroy its activity
*other↝, Although water cress and broccoli are known to be the richest source, PEITC can also be obtained from turnips and radish
*Dose↝, In a study conducted with human volunteers, approximately 2 to 6 mg of PEITC was found to be released by the consumption of one ounce of watercress
Dose↓, significant anti-cancer effects can be achieved at micromolar concentrations of PEITC.
*BioAv↑, PEITC is highly bioavailable after oral administration. A single dose of 10–100 μmol/kg PEITC in rats resulted in bioavailability ranging between 90–114%
*Dose↝, Furthermore, about 928.5±250nM peak plasma concentration of PEITC was achieved in human subjects, after the consumption of 100g watercress.
*Half-Life↝, time to reach peak plasma concentration was observed to be 2.6h±1.1h with a t1/2 4.9±1.1h
*toxicity↝, long term studies are required to establish the safety profile of PEITC, since regular intake of PEITC can cause its accumulation resulting in cumulative effects, which could be toxic.
GSH↓, The conjugation of PEITC with intracellular glutathione and the subsequent removal of the conjugate result in depletion of glutathione and alteration in redox homeostasis leading to oxidative stress
ROS↑, PEITC-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to be a general mechanism of action leading to cytotoxic effects, especially specific to cancer cells

OCR↓, PEITC also inhibits mitochondrial complex III activity and reduces the oxygen consumption rate in prostate cancer cells
GSH↓, PEITC binds to GSH and causes its depletion in cancer cells leading to ROS-induced cell damage
ITGB1↓, PEITC was found to inhibit major integrins, such as ITGB1, ITGA2 and ITGA6 in prostate cancer cells
