Abstract excerpt
Caspase-8 is the most receptor-proximal, upstream caspase in the caspase cascade and plays a key role in cell death triggered by various death receptors. Here, we addressed the role of endogenous caspase-8 in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB. Direct targeting of caspase-8 with siRNA and antisense (AS) approaches abolished TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB in NIH3T3, HeLa,...
