  • Publication number: 20020169123
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for controlling, modulating or regulating extrinsically-induced apoptosis in a population of cells, comprising treating the cell population with a synergistically combined composition comprising an amount of TRAIL in conjunction with an amount of at least one reagent acting on mitochondrial pathways of the cells, which in combination is sufficient to induce cellular apoptosis, such that the apoptosis-inducing effect of the combination is greater than that of TRAIL alone, or the at least one reagent alone, or the additive individual apoptotic effects of TRAIL and the at least one reagent. However, TRAIL-sensitive normal cells are protected from the extrinsically induced apoptosis by treatment with a specific caspase inhibitor, such as a caspase 9 inhibitor.

  • Publication number: 20020048566
    Abstract: This invention relates to modulating cellular apoptosis in an animal by regulating the quantity of functional KILLER/DR5 receptor protein molecules in the target cell(s) of said animal, increasing the effectiveness of certain therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Such modulation increases the difference in toxicity response between target cell(s) and non-target cell(s) in response to a therapy or treatment and comprises upregulation of wild-type proteins in cells targeted for increased apoptosis or upregulation of loss-of-function proteins in cells targeted for decreased apoptosis. The methods of this invention comprise administering a nucleic acid sequence encoding a wild-type KILLER/DR5 receptor protein or a nucleic acid sequence encoding a loss-of-function mutant KILLER/DR5 receptor protein to said animal. The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention comprise a loss-of-function KILLER/DR5 receptor protein.
