Caspase-independent pathways of programmed cell death: The unraveling of new targets of cancer therapy?
Constantinou, Constantina; Papas, Konstantinos A.; Constantinou, Andreas I. (2009)In the past few years, accumulating evidence in the literature supports the existence of pathways of caspase-independent programmed cell death (CI-PCD). These pathways are likely to be acting as 'death backup systems' that ...

Induction of caspase-independent programmed cell death by vitamin E natural homologs and synthetic derivatives.
Constantinou, Constantina; Hyatt, John Anthony; Vraka, Panayiota S.; Papas, Andreas M.; Papas, Konstantinos A.; Neophytou, Christiana M.; Hadjivassiliou, V.; Constantinou, Andreas I. (2009)Current observations in the literature suggest that vitamin E may be a suitable candidate for cancer chemotherapy. To investigate this further, we examined the ability of the vitamin E natural homologs [alpha-, beta-, ...

Induction of DNA damage and caspase-independent programmed cell death by vitamin e
Constantinou, Constantina; Neophytou, Christiana M.; Vraka, Panayiota S.; Hyatt, John Anthony; Papas, Konstantinos A.; Constantinou, Andreas I. (2012)Vitamin E comprises 8 functionally unique isoforms and may be a suitable candidate for the adjuvant treatment of prostate cancer. In this study, we examined the ability of 2 vitamin E isoforms [α-tocotrienol (γ-TT) and ...
