In the present study we examined in more detail the dual role of the c-JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 stress-activated protein kinase pathways in mediating apoptosis or cellular activation in hematopoietic cells. Growth factor deprivation of the erythroleukemic cell line TF-1 led to...

The CD95 (APO-1/Fas) system plays an important role in lymphocyte homeostasis and contributes to anticancer drug-induced apoptosis in some tumor cells. Most childhood B-lineage ALL cells are constitutively resistant towards CD95-induced death. We report here that chemotherapeutic drugs, such as...

We have previously reported that prodigiosin (2-methyl-3pentyl-6-methoxyprodigiosene) induces apoptosis in human hematopoietic cancer cell lines with no marked toxicity in nonmalignant cell lines. In this study, we demonstrate that prodigiosin induces apoptosis of B-cell chronic lymphocytic...

Stem cell research is currently focused on totipotent stem cells and their therapeutic potential, however adult stem cells, while restricted to differentiation within their tissue or origin, also have therapeutic utility. Transplantation with bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) has been...

Background/Aim. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) represents a malignant myeloproliferative disease developed out of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell that contains the fusion bcr-abl gene. Disorders that occur in the process of apoptosis represent one of the possible molecular mechanisms that...
- HA14-1 selectively induces apoptosis in Bcl-2-overexpressing leukemia/lymphoma cells, and enhances cytarabine-induced cell death. Lickliter, J. D.; Wood, N. J.; Johnson, L.; McHugh, G.; Tan, J.; Wood, F.; Cox, J.; Wickham, N. W. // Leukemia (08876924);Nov2003, Vol. 17 Issue 11, p2074
The Bcl-2 oncoprotein is commonly overexpressed in hematological malignancy, where it promotes the survival of neoplastic cells. Recently, a small molecule (HA14-1) was reported to bind the surface pocket of Bcl-2 that mediates antiapoptotic interactions, triggering apoptosis in a...
- Caspase-activated ROCK-1 allows erythroblast terminal maturation independently of cytokine-induced Rho signaling. Gabet, A.-S.; Coulon, S.; Fricot, A.; Vandekerckhove, J.; Chang, Y.; Ribeil, J.-A.; Lordier, L.; Zermati, Y.; Asnafi, V.; Belaid, Z.; Debili, N.; Vainchenker, W.; Varet, B.; Hermine, O; Courtois, G. // Cell Death & Differentiation;Apr2011, Vol. 18 Issue 4, p678
Stem cell factor (SCF) and erythropoietin are strictly required for preventing apoptosis and stimulating proliferation, allowing the differentiation of erythroid precursors from colony-forming unit-E to the polychromatophilic stage. In contrast, terminal maturation to generate reticulocytes...
- Inhibition of p38 MAPK activity promotes ex vivo expansion of human cord blood hematopoietic stem cells. Zou, Jing; Zou, Ping; Wang, Jie; Li, Lei; Wang, Yong; Zhou, Daohong; Liu, Lingbo // Annals of Hematology;Jun2012, Vol. 91 Issue 6, p813
Ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) depends on HSC self-renewing proliferation and functional maintenance, which can be negatively affected by HSC differentiation, apoptosis, and senescence. Therefore, inhibition of HSC senescence may promote HSC expansion. To test this...

Quiescence is a key characteristic of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), postulated to prevent premature exhaustion of the stem cell pool and to protect HSCs from insults such as proliferative stress, irradiation, and chemotoxins. Similarly, quiescence is also thought to play a role in...
