Abstract:

Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases, including CJD and scrapie, which are thought to be caused by a protein termed a prion (PrP). As manganese has previously been suggested to be involved in prion disease we have investigated manganese binding to PrP and its role in the toxicity of the protein. We have shown that manganese bound PrP (MnPrP) has several of the characteristics of the disease form of PrP, including protease resistance and toxicity that is dependent on cellular PrP expression. Further investigation into the mechanism of toxicity revealed that MnPrP is si

Abstract:

Concerns about climate changes and scarcity of fossil fuels are rising. Hence wood is becoming an attractive source of renewable energy and raw material and these new dimensions have prompted increasing interest in wood formation in trees, in both the scientific community and wider public. In this thesis, the focus is on a key process in wood development: programmed cell death (PCD) in the development of xylem elements. Since secondary cell wall formation is dependent, inter alia, upon the life time of xylem elements, the qualitative features of wood will be affected by PCD in xylem, about whi

Abstract:

Nitric oxide (NO), a regulator of diverse cardiovascular functions, modifies cardiac cell viability through mechanisms that remain uncertain. Several pathways were studied to understand these effects. The possibility that the protein p53 is involved in the cardiomyocyte response to the NO donor s-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) or the peroxynitrite donor 3- morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) was explored. These donors induced a concentration-dependent increase of cell death in cultured embryonic chick cardiomyocytes. Expression of p53 protein was increased in response to GSNO, specifically in the n

Abstract:

Oxygen free radicals have been implicated in several diseases including ischemic stroke, and myocardial infarction. They can trigger chain reactions like peroxidation of membrane phospholipids, leading to osmotic imbalance and cell death. Isoprostanes are stable products of lipid peroxidation that have a constrictor effect on the vasculature and bronchii. As isoprostanes are abundantly generated in tissues under oxidant stress, we have hypothesized that they could be related to endothelial dysfunction observed during ischemia/reperfasion by affecting endothelial cell survival.

Abstract:

Programmed Cell Death (PCD) describes an orderly cellular breakdown that occurs in both plants and animals throughout development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The molecular machinery that functions in the induction and execution of animal PCD has been characterised in great detail. Conversely, few genes and proteins involved in plant PCD have been identified. While certain features of animal PCD may be conserved, the induction and execution of plant PCD is also likely to involve novel proteins and mechanisms.

Abstract:

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an oxidative enzyme that deaminates a variety of amine substrates, including the neurotransmitter dopamine. The enzymatic reaction requires molecular oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide as a by-product. MAO is localised in the outer mitochondrial membrane and exists as two isoforms, MAO-A and MAO-B, which are differentially expressed in the body and differ in their substrate and inhibitor specificities. Previous studies have suggested that MAO-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to oxidative stress in the cell and can directly inhibit electron transp

Cell Adhesion Mediated Drug Resistance (CAM-DR) is a factor in Multiple Myeloma (MM) drug resistance. Despite advances in treatment, multiple myeloma remains incurable and often results in drug resistance. It is known that cell adhesion to fibronectin via integrin β1 confers survival in myeloma cells. We show here that adherence of the NCI-H929 and MM.1S myeloma cells to fibronectin, promotes cell death when treated with proteasome inhibitor Carfilzomib (Kyprolis). These data are in contrast to other cytotoxic drugs, such as melphalan or doxorubicin, and different myeloma cell lines in which t

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, treatment-resistant tumour. Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II)) is the best single-agent chemotherapy for MPM, but platinum-based combination therapies give the best overall response rates. However, cisplatin use is limited by resistance and severe side effects. This thesis has increased the knowledge concerning cisplatin-induced cell death in MPM by describing a novel potential therapeutic target, and three novel phenotypes of cisplatin-resistance in a human MPM cell line (P31) and its cisplatin-resistant sub-line (P31res1.2).

Abstract:

The cancer chemotherapeutic agent methotrexate inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase leading to a depletion of cellular reduced folates and inhibition of thymidylate synthase. A predicted consequence of this depletion of cellular thymidylate residues is that the nucleotide dUMP may be incorporated into DNA in place of dTMP. The subsequent cycle of uracil removal and reincorporation by an excision-repair pathway may cause DNA damage, a possible contributory factor leading ultimately to cell death.

Abstract:

Cancer cells are endowed with the capability to evade normal apoptotic signaling, as they display a constitutive hyperactivation of kinase signaling pathways. Integration of survival and death stimuli occurs on mitochondria, where many of these signals converge in the regulation of a channel termed permeability transition pore (PTP). PTP opening commits cells to death, and it is regulated by a variety of factors, among which molecular chaperones play a pivotal role. Here I have studied how mitochondrial chaperones interact with signal transduction pathways, modulate the PTP and more in general

Abstract:

Anticancer drug resistance occurs as a result of altered response to cytotoxic insult, via inhibition or inactivation of apoptosis (programmed cell death type I, PCDI), which plays a major role in tumour development and progression. An alternative form of cell death - non-apoptotic, or autophagic cell death (PCD II) has recently emerged as a factor contributing to the cytotoxic response of cancer cells. We studied in vitro cell death in a drug resistant model MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with acquired resistance (c. 10- 20 fold) to paclitaxel, termed MCF-7TaxR. It has been reported that the

These genetic differences often make treatments which work with a particular cancer ineffective on another - even from the same origin, and lead to differences in outcomes to selective pressures such as nutrient deprivation.

Monocytes migrate to various tissues and differentiate to macrophages and mediate early control of pathogens.

Our results indicate that differentiation of macrophages results in resistance to ripoptosome- but not necrosome- induced cell death. Additional experiments indicated that the resistance
