Type:
The caspase family of proteases are essential to initiate and execute apoptotic cell death. Targeting caspase pathways by gene therapy or endogenous inhibitors represents a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer.
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.
Caspases are a cysteine protease that speed up a chemical reaction via pointing their target substrates following an aspartic acid residue.1 They are grouped into apoptotic (caspase-2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) and inflammatory (caspase-1, 4, 5, 11 and 12) mediated caspases.

*Inflam↓, wide spectrum of pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activities.
*AntiCan↑,
*AntiBio↑,
*antiOx↑,
*neuroP↑,
ROS↓, GNL scavenges free radicals and preserves the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
Apoptosis↑, GNL induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, modulates multiple molecular targets, including p53 and STAT3, activates caspases, and modulates inflammation via transcriptional regulation.
TumCCA↑,
P53↝,
STAT3↓, GNL reduces survivin protein levels by downregulating phosphorylated STAT3.
Casp↝,
*Catalase↑, This compound protects various antioxidant enzymes, such as catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione peroxidase.
*GSTs↑,
*GPx↑,
*AChE↓, In addition, GNL suppressed acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and alleviated oxidative stress by boosting neuronal reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities.
*GSH↑,
*SOD↑,
*TBARS↓, It lowered malondialdehyde concentration (TBARS), nitric oxide (NO), and xanthine oxidase (XO), and restored the structural damage to the brain tissue caused by HFD.
*NO↓,
*XO↓,
*memory↑, GNL boosted learning and memory function and ameliorated the inflammation status in the brain by lowering the protein levels of IL-1β, iNOS, NF-κBp65, and COX-2
*IL1β↓,
*iNOS↓,
*NF-kB↓,
*COX2↓,
*NRF2↑, GNL administration ameliorated renal function, alleviated histological changes, and enhanced Nrf-2/HO-1/NQO-1 with a subsequent intensification of antioxidant enzyme activities.
*HO-1↑,
*survivin↓, GNL reduces survivin protein levels by downregulating phosphorylated STAT3.
TumCP↓, They have shown that GNL treatment significantly suppressed oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell proliferation and migration in vitro and tumor growth in vivo in a time- and dose-dependent manner.
TumCMig↓,
TumCG↑,
selectivity↑, GNL may be helpful in treating different types of malignancy, while having limited effects on normal cells.
TumMeta↓, GNL has been reported to inhibit cancer metastasis and angiogenesis.
angioG↓,
Hif1a↓, A549 lung cancer cells treated with GNL, downregulation of HIF-1alpha, a VEGF regulator, occurred
Beclin-1↓, GNL also decreases autophagy through downregulation of BNIP3 and beclin-1 expression, which increases apoptotic cell death through HIF-1α signaling.

4353- MF,  Chemo,    Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Enhances Doxorubicin-induced Reduction in the Viability of MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
- in-vitro, BC, MCF7
TumCCA↑, PEMF enhances the anticancer activity in DOX-treated MCF-7 breast cancer cells by increasing G1 cell cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptosis.
Apoptosis↑, we report that PEMF stimulation enhances the reduction in the cell viability by enhancing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
eff↑, extremely low frequency (ELF)-EMF can increase the cytotoxic effect of DOX on MCF-7 breast cancer cells compared with treatment with DOX alone
TumCCA↑, we report here that PEMF enhances DOX-induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and caspase-dependent apoptosis
Casp↝, PEMF promoted the DOX-induced activation of caspases-8, -9, and -7
p‑CDK2↓, combined treatment with DOX and PEMF produced the further reduction in CDK2 phosphorylation and cyclin E2 expression when compared to treatment with DOX alone
cycE/CCNE↓,
Fas↑, expression of Fas and Bax was elevated to a larger degree in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells than in the DOX-treated cells
BAX↑,
survivin↓, expression of survivin was decreased in the DOX-treated cells and further reduced in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells
Mcl-1↓, Mcl-1 expression was reduced in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells compared to the DOX-treated cells
cl‑PARP↑, increased PARP cleavage was observed in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells
cl‑Casp7↑, caspase-7 was higher in the DOX-treated cells than in the control group and was further higher in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells
cl‑Casp8↑, Cleavage of caspase-8 and -9 were elevated in the DOX-treated cells and increased even more in the DOX/PEMF-treated cells
cl‑Casp9↑,
