A large proportion of human tumors show deregulated expression of a variety of proteins that play a crucial role in the execution of the apoptotic program. Survivin belongs to the family of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins which were originally...

Integrin-Targeting Dye-Doped PEG-Shell/Silica-Core Nanoparticles Mimicking the Proapoptotic Smac/DIABLO Protein.

Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland)

De Marco R, Rampazzo E, Zhao J, Prodi L, Paolillo M, Picchetti P, Gallo F, Calonghi N, Gentilucci L.
PMID: 32575872
Nanomaterials (Basel). 2020 Jun 21;10(6). doi: 10.3390/nano10061211.

Cancer cells demonstrate elevated expression levels of the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), contributing to tumor cell survival, disease progression, chemo-resistance, and poor prognosis. Smac/DIABLO is a mitochondrial protein that promotes apoptosis by neutralizing members of the IAP family....

Combination of IAP Antagonists and TNF-α-Armed Oncolytic Viruses Induce Tumor Vascular Shutdown and Tumor Regression.

Molecular therapy oncolytics
