TRAIL/rTRAIL, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:

Recombinant TRAIL - Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand

Recommended Abbreviation: rTRAIL

Alternative Names: Recombinant TRAIL, recombinant TNFSF10, Apo2L/TRAIL

Type: Recombinant protein / biologic anticancer agent / death-receptor agonist

Function: Recombinant TRAIL binds primarily to the death receptors DR4 (TNFRSF10A) and DR5 (TNFRSF10B), causing death-inducing signaling complex formation, caspase-8 activation, downstream caspase activation, and apoptosis. Many cancer cells are more sensitive to TRAIL-induced apoptosis than normal cells, although resistance is common.

Cancer: ↑ TRAIL-induced death-receptor signaling is generally favorable because it promotes extrinsic apoptosis in susceptible cancer cells. Recombinant TRAIL and TRAIL-receptor agonists have shown substantial preclinical anticancer activity, although clinical efficacy has been limited by short circulating half-life, receptor biology, and intrinsic or acquired TRAIL resistance.

Caspase-8 is a unique member of caspases with a dual role in cell death and survival. Caspase-8 expression is often lost in some tumors, but increased in others, indicating a potential pro-survival function in cancer.
Caspase-8 (Casp8) acts as an initiator in cell apoptosis signaling. However, the role of Casp8 in tuning the tumor immune microenvironment remains controversial due to the complicated crosstalk between immune-tolerogenic apoptotic cell death and immunogenic cell death cascades.
