Bio-mimetic strategies to re-activate apoptotic cell death for cancer treatments by Andrea Venerando, Denise Lovison, Rossella De Marco

“…The internal (or mitochondrial) and external (or death receptor) pathways are responsible for driving a series of molecular events that lead to apoptosis by releasing pro-apoptotic proteins, such as B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) homology 3 (BH3)-only proteins and second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases/diablo inhibitor of apoptosis protein-binding mitochondrial protein (SMAC/DIABLO), that in turn activate the caspase family of proteases. …”

Inhibition of mutagenic activation of orthoaminoazotoluene increases its carcinogenicity for mouse liver by V. I. Kaledin, L. P. Ovchinnikova, S. I. Ilnitskaya, T. S. Morozkova, N. A. Popova

“…The results of our comparative study with ortho-aminoazotoluene and 3.4-benzopyrene are in contradiction with the genotoxic theory of carcinogenesis: both are similarly activated by mouse liver enzymes, but induce tumors in different tissues: the former, hepatocellular carcinomas and the latter, splenic lymphoma. The conclusion was made that the accepted notion about the mechanism of carcinogenesis has to be revised.…”
