LITERATURE
IMAGE
6'-benzyloxy-4-bromo-2'-hydroxychalcone
compound displays potent cytotoxic properties against human leukaemia cells U-937, HL-60, K-562, NALM-6 and MOLT-3. Application results in significant activation of caspase-8 after 24 h of treatment
actinomycin D
-
significantly activates caspase-8
CD95
-
cellular FLIP long form
-
-
complement factor 5a
-
increases caspase-8 activity and expression level of procaspase-8, and increases caspase 8 homologue FLICE-inhibitory protein, cFLIP, activation, C5a stimulation initiated cFLIP cleavage, which increased the 43 kDa active fragment, overview
-
edelfosine
-
i.e. 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-racglycero-3-phosphocholine, an anti-tumor drug, induces activation of procaspase-8 in T-cell leukemia, specific inhibition of caspase-8 prevents the apoptotic response triggered by edelfosine, overview. The compound induces the generation of the so-called death-inducing signaling complex, DISC, made up of Fas/CD95, FADD, and procaspase-8, in lipid rafts
Fas death domain
-
FADD, activating caspase-8 via its death-effector domain, DED. FADD dimerizes on binding to Fas, a crucial event that greatly enhances both the FADD-Fas interaction and caspase-8 activation
-
Fas-associated death domain protein-like interleukin-1-beta-converting enzyme-like inhibitory protein, long form
FLIP L, results in a heterodimeric enzyme
-
FLIPL protein

harmol
-
i.e. 1-methyl-9H-beta-carbolin-7-ol, a natural beta-carboline plant alkaloid, induces caspase-8 activation

-
induces the enzyme activation 3.5fold in endothelial progenitor cells at 0.2 mM
interferon-alpha
increases caspase-8 transcription

justicidin A
-
lithium/SB-415286
-
two GSK-3 inhibitor, enhance caspase-8 activity in hepatoma cells, but not in healthy hepatocyte, and increase the sensitivity of the cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, i.e. TRAIL, or CH-11, a CD95 agonistic antibody, which leads to increased apoptosis, the agents have no effect alone, mechanism, overview, 1.5-2.1fold activation of CH-11-induced apoptosis at 20 mM LiCl and 0.025 mM SB-415286
NPI-0052
-
the chemotherapeutic agent, i.e. salinosporamide A, a proteasome inhibitor, activates the caspase-8-dependent apoptosis pathway in multiple myeloma cells, it potentiates the apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha, bortezomib, and thalidomide, regulation, overview
radiation
increases caspase-8 expression and activity
-
resveratrol
-
causes activation of caspase-8, which in turn results in modulation of mitochondrial apoptotic machinery to promote apoptosis of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes
Sodium citrate
enhances activity
staurosporine
-
TNF-alpha/irradiation
-
leads to an increase of caspase-8 activity up to 3.2fold within 24 h and up to 4.4fold within 48 h after irradiation, administration of TNF-alpha to non-irradiated hepatocytes does not lead to an increased activity of caspase-8
