uHTS for the identification of compounds that potentiate TRAIL-induced apoptosis of cancer cells
Excerpt
This study proposed to screen for small molecules compounds that selectively sensitize tumor cells to the extrinsic apoptosis pathway activated by Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) without affecting other cell death pathways and normal cells. These compounds represent potentially useful research tools for the elucidation of mechanisms of TRAIL-resistance, and might also serve as prototypic compounds for the development of a new generation of non-toxic anticancer drugs to restore sensitivity to endogenous pathways used by the immune system to eradicate tumors. The probe compound ML100 (CID-3380841) appears to selectively sensitize tumor cells in a TRAIL-dependent manner to the extrinsic apoptosis pathway activated by TRAIL, without effecting normal cells to this apoptosis-inducing cytokine.
