Effector Caspases and Leukemia by Ying Lu, Guo-Qiang Chen

“…Based on the structure and function, the apoptotic caspases are further grouped into initiator/apical caspases (caspase-2, -8, -9, and -10) and effector/executioner caspases (caspase-3, -6, and -7). In this paper, we discuss what we have learned about the role of individual effector caspase in mediating both apoptotic and nonapoptotic events, with special emphasis on leukemia-specific oncoproteins in relation to effector caspases.…”

In defence of ferroptosis by Francesca Alves, Darius Lane, Triet Phu Minh Nguyen, Ashley I. Bush, Scott Ayton

“…Ferroptosis is increasingly implicated in a host of diseases, and unlike other cell death programs the physiological initiation of ferroptosis is conceived to occur not by an endogenous executioner, but by the withdrawal of cellular guardians that otherwise constantly oppose ferroptosis induction. …”

Programmed neurite degeneration in human central nervous system neurons driven by changes in NAD+ metabolism by Markus Brüll, Selina Multrus, Michael Schäfer, Ivana Celardo, Christiaan Karreman, Marcel Leist

“…Since neither ferroptosis nor necroptosis, nor caspase-dependent apoptosis seemed to be involved in neurite loss, we investigated SARM1 as potential executioner (or controller). Knock-down or expression of a dominant-negative isoform of SARM1 indeed drastically delayed ND. …”

Phenylbutyric Acid Modulates Apoptosis and ER Stress‐Related Gene Expression in Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ib In Vitro Model by Marina Parezanovic, Nina Stevanovic, Marina Andjelkovic, Milena Ugrin, Sonja Pavlovic, Maja Stojiljkovic, Anita Skakic

“…Results Treatment with the most effective dose of 1 mM 4‐PBA reduced the expression of UPR markers and executioner caspases, while increased BCL2/BAX ratio in G6PT‐deficient cells. …”

Fraxinellone-mediated targeting of cathepsin B leakage from lysosomes induces ferroptosis in fibroblasts to inhibit hypertrophic scar formation by Wei Xu, Hao Lv, Yaxin Xue, Xiaofeng Shi, Shaotian Fu, Xiaojun Li, Chuandong Wang, Danyang Zhao, Dong Han

“…Oxford Nanopore Technologies long-read RNA sequencing (ONT long-read RNA-seq) revealed the occurrence of ferroptosis in HSF and ferroptosis executioner-cathepsin B (CTSB). The mechanisms underlying FRA-induced HSF ferroptosis were examined through fluorescence staining, qRT‒PCR, WB and molecular docking study. …”

Les expulsés allemands. Des victimes en quête de reconnaissance by Florence Lelait

“…The country discovers again that it was not only the country of the executioners, but also a country of victims. Among them, there were particularly billion of people, who got expelled both from the Eastern German territories, and Eastern and Central Europe. …”

Apoptosis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Carcinogenesis: Overview of International and Greek Experience by Jannis Kountouras, Georgios Kouklakis, Christos Zavos, Dimitrios Chatzopoulos, John Moschos, Epaminodas Molyvas, Nikolaos Zavos

“…The death of T lymphocytes following their activation involves a series of proteases (caspases), which comprise the central executioners of apoptosis. Abnormal regulation of apoptosis results in disease. …”
