Inhibitors of apoptosis confer resistance to tumour suppression by adoptively transplanted cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in vitro and in vivo

2005

Deregulation of apoptosis signalling is commonly found in cancer and results in resistance to cytotoxic therapies. Immunotherapy is a promising strategy to eliminate resistant cancer cells. The transfer of T-lymphocytes during allogeneic stem cell transplantation is clinically explored to induce a 'graft-versus-tumor' effect (GvT). Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL), which are major effectors of GvT, eliminate cancer cells by inducing apoptosis via multiple parallel pathways. Here, we study in vitro and in vivo the susceptibility of murine cancer cells engineered to express single antiapoptotic genes to CTL-mediated cytotoxicity. Interestingly, we find that single inhibitors of caspase activatio…

Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and pp32/PHAPI in resected non-small-cell lung cancer patients

2009

Einleitung: Fur viele Tumorarten ist der Einfluss des Apoptosesignalweges auf die Prognose der Tumorerkrankung beschrieben worden. So konnte fur die antiapoptotischen Proteine wie Bcl-2 und Bcl-xL gezeigt werden, dass sie den mitochondrialen Selbstzerstorungsmechanismus der Zellen herunterregulieren konnen. Fur nicht-kleinzellige Lungenkarzinomen (NSCLC) hingegen existieren widerspruchliche Angaben in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur in Bezug auf die prognostische Wertigkeit apoptotischer und insbesondere antiapoptotischer Faktoren. Ein weiterer wichtiger Faktor im genannten Mechanismus, welches NSCLC fur apoptotische Stimuli sensibilisieren soll, ist das Protein pp32/PHAPI. Fur bereits che…
