additional information | in head and neck squamous cancer cell lines with low caspase-8 levels, Smac mimetics treatment induced caspase-10 activation | Homo sapiens |
Application | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
pharmacology | tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand and SMs effectively kill head and neck squamous cancer cell lines and therefore represent potential targeted therapeutics for head and neck cancer. Distinct molecular mechanisms determine the sensitivity to each agent, with levels of TNF-alpha, caspase-8, Bid and caspase-10 providing important predictive biomarkers of response to these agents | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | Smac mimetic-induced cell death is associated with caspase-10 activation and is Bid-independent, suggesting that in the absence of caspase-8, caspase-10 mediates response to Smac mimetics, overview | Homo sapiens |
