Selenate / Casp Cancer Research Results

Selenate, Selenate: Click to Expand ⟱

Features:

Selenate shares similarity with sulfate and enters cells via sulfate transporters; however, it is less readily reduced and often considered less potent in rapid cytotoxicity effects.

Selenate tends to exhibit higher IC50 values (often in the 10–100 µM range), indicating reduced potency compared to selenite in directly inducing cancer cell death.

Less Direct ROS Generation than Selenite.
– Selenate’s toxicity is generally less acute because it is a more inert species until metabolically reduced.
– It may exert its anticancer effects once it is converted into reduced selenium species that eventually can contribute to ROS production.

Type:

The caspase family of proteases are essential to initiate and execute apoptotic cell death. Targeting caspase pathways by gene therapy or endogenous inhibitors represents a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer.
Caspases are divided into two groups: the initiator caspases (caspase-2, -8, -9 and -10), which are the first to be activated in response to a signal, and the executioner caspases (caspase-3, -6, and -7) that carry out the demolition phase of apoptosis.
Caspases are a cysteine protease that speed up a chemical reaction via pointing their target substrates following an aspartic acid residue.1 They are grouped into apoptotic (caspase-2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) and inflammatory (caspase-1, 4, 5, 11 and 12) mediated caspases.
