TRAIL and vitamins: opting for keys to castle of cancer proteome instead of open sesame

Abstract Cancer is a multifaceted molecular disorder that is modulated by a combination of genetic, metabolic and signal transduction aberrations, which severely impair the normal homeostasis of cell growth and death.Accumulating findings highlight the fact that different genetic alterations, such as mutations in tumor suppressor genes, might be related to distinct and differential sensitivity to targeted therapies.It is becoming increasingly apparent that a multipronged approach that addresses genetic milieu (alterations in upstream and/or parallel pathways) eventually determines the response of individual Microbial Biocontrol Strategies for Ambrosia Beetles and Their Associated Phytopathogenic Fungi tumors to therapy.Cancerous cells often acquire the ability to Antiangiogenic agents targeting different angiogenic pathways have opposite effects on tumor hypoxia in R-18 human melanoma xenografts evade death by attenuating cell death pathways that normally function to eliminate damaged and harmful cells.Therefore impaired cell death nanomachinery and withdrawal of death receptors from cell surface are some of major determinants for the development of chemotherapeutic resistance encountered during treatment.

It is therefore essential to emphasize underlying factors which predispose cells to refractoriness against TRAIL mediated cell death pathway and the relevant regulatory components involved.We bring to limelight the strategies to re-sensitize TRAIL resistant cells via vitamins to induce apoptosis.
