MPT0B014, a Tubulin Polymerization Inhibitor Induces Cancer Cell Apoptosis
Microtubules are polymers of microtubule proteins that form part of the cytoskeleton and provide structure and shape for eukaryotic cells. Specifically, Microtubules play an important role in many cellular processes. They participate in maintaining cellular structure and form the cytoskeleton together with microfilaments and intermediate filaments. Besides, Microtubes are...
SU056, a YB-1 Inhibitor, Induces Cell-cycle Arrest, Apoptosis and Inhibits Cell Migration in Cancer
Y-box-binding proteins (YB proteins) belong to a family of proteins that contain a cold shock domain. The YB protein consists of three members, YB-1, YB-2 and YB-3. Among the YB proteins, YB-1 is the most widely studied one, which plays important roles in DNA repair, cell proliferation and differentiation....
Cetuximab (C225) is an Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody for Cancer Research
EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is a transmembrane protein and is a member of the ErbB family. Besides, EGFR is a protein tyrosine kinase expressed on many types of tumor cells, including breast, ovarian, bladder, head and neck, and prostatic carcinoma. Mainly, In malignant tumors, EGFR overexpression is linked...
MC2590, a Potent HDAC Inhibitor, inhibits HDAC1-3, -6, -8, and -10
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) is an epigenetic enzyme that regulates gene expression through histone deacetylation. It leads to more closed chromatin structure and gene expression inhibition. Many non-histones are also targets of HDAC, such as α Microtubulin, heat shock protein (HSP) 90, and hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 α. Specifically, HDAC is...
Lexatumumab (HGS 1018) is a TRAIL-R2 Agonist Antibody
TRAIL-R2 (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2), also known as death receptor 5 (DR5), is a cell surface receptor that binds TRAIL, a cytokine that causes apoptosis. Additionally, TRAIL-R2 contains two extracellular cysteine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic death domain. The receptor engages a caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway. It mediates apoptosis via...
Coibamide A, an Cytotoxic Depsipeptide, Induces Autophagosome Accumulation
Autophagy is the key structure of macroautophagy. Macroautophagy is an intracellular degradation system of cytoplasmic contents. Meanwhile, autophagy is a new double-membrane vesicle formed during autophagy, which can phagocytose a variety of intracellular substances. It transports this autophagic material to the lysosome for subsequent degradation. The lysosomal hydrolase degrades...
Benufutamab (GEN1029) is a DR5-Specific Agonistic Antibody for Solid Tumor Research
Death receptor 5 (DR5), also known as TRAIL receptor 2 (TRAILR2) and TNFR superfamily member 10B (TNFRSF10B), is a cell surface receptor of the TNF-receptor superfamily that binds TRAIL and mediates apoptosis. Triggering of these receptors via TRAIL or agonistic antibodies selectively induced apoptosis in malignant cells derived from...
