Purpose: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in blood of patients with melanoma have proven to be an accurate predictor of prognosis and response to some treatments. Exclusion of patients with high LDH levels from many trials of new treatments has cre

We have shown previously that most melanoma cell lines are insensitive to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress–induced apoptosis, but resistance can be reversed through activation of caspase-4 by inhibition of the MEK/ERK pathway. We report in this st
Activation of Jun N-terminal kinase is a mediator of vincristine-induced apoptosis of melanoma cells

The molecular changes involved in the induction of apoptosis by vincristine in melanoma have not yet been well defined. Two human melanoma cell lines showing moderate (Mel-RM) and high (IgR3) sensitivity to vincristine were selected from a panel of e

Phenoxodiol is a chemically modified analogue of the plant hormone isoflavone with antitumour activities. In the present study, we have examined its ability to induce apoptosis in human melanoma cells and the mechanisms involved. Apoptosis was observ

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) plays a role in the cytotoxic mechanisms of activated macrophages against tumor cells by inducing iron (Fe) release. We have shown that NO-mediated Fe efflux from cells required glutathione (GSH), and we have hypothesized that

Purpose: The development of novel and potent iron chelators as clinically useful antitumor agents is an area of active interest. Antiproliferative activity of chelators often relates to iron deprivation or stimulation of iron-dependent free radical d

In an attempt to develop chelators as potent anti-tumour agents, we synthesized two series of novel ligands based on the very active 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PCIH) group. Since lipophilicity and membrane permeability play a cr

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) is a cytotoxic effector molecule produced by macrophages that results in Fe mobilization from tumour target cells which inhibits DNA synthesis and mitochondrial respiration. It is well known that NO has a high affinity for Fe,

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) affects cellular iron metabolism due to its high affinity for this metal ion. Indeed, NO has been shown to increase the mRNA binding activity of the iron-regulatory protein 1, which is a major regulator of iron homeostasis. Rec

Nitrogen monoxide (NO) exerts many of its functions by binding to iron (Fe) in the active sites of a number of key proteins. Previously we have shown that NO produced by NO-generating agents decreased cellular Fe uptake from transferrin (Tf). However
