Does hUHS1015 suppress Colonic Cancer Growth by Inducing Necrosis and Apoptosis in Association with Mitochondrial Damage?
HUHS1015 induces necrosis by lowering the intracellular ATP level in association with mitochondrial damage and caspase-dependent apoptosis. This occurs in part by stimulating cytochrome c release from the mitochondria to activate caspase-9 followed by the effector caspase-3, responsible for suppression of colonic cancer proliferation in the mouse xenograft model.
In patients with type 1 diabetes with normal LVEF and without known heart disease, suPAR is associated with early systolic and diastolic myocardial impairment. Our study implies that both suPAR and advanced echocardiography are useful diagnostic tools for identifying patients with diabetes at risk of future clinical heart disease, suited for intensified medical therapy.
