Caspase activation Mechanism
> 3 mechanism
a. Direct Mitochondrial damage
b. Cytochrome C release from Mitochondria c. Caspases activation
Caspases (Cysteine Protease) & PARP (Poly ADP- ribose Polymerase)cleavage
= Biomarkers of Apoptosis.
Mitochondria is a key regulator of Apoptosis by releasing Cytochrome C into cytosol
Cyt C + Caspase to form Apoptome gene leads to further biochemical & morphological
changes = Apoptosis
As GSE , the cleavge of caspase 3 & 9activity = PARP cleavage
Caspase 3 is a central Caspase in the Cascade
Caspase 3= Cell death
3210/12/2016
33. Conclusion
GSE causes mitochondrial damage to
cancerous cells, leads to cytochrome c release in
cytosol and activation of caspases resulting in PARP
enzyme which leads significant apoptotic death of
human prostate cancer cells.

66. Summary
Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cell with the
potential to spread to other parts of the body. They form a
subset of Neoplasms.
Although there are several treatment methods to reduce the
incidence of cancer their is very much scope for the use of
natural Anti-cancer polyphenols.
In this context Grape seed Extract may provide a potential anti-
tumor effect by several mechanisms i.e.
As a potent natural antioxidant it reduces the DNA
fragmentation and prevents the cell damage.

resulting in PARP cleavage leads to apoptotic death of human
prostate cancer cells.
Increases DNA repair enzyme PARP and down regulates the
expression of Liver cancer cell.
Down regulates the COX-2 expression by its antioxidant
defense mechanism to reduce the colon injury.
By the activation of PKC- ERK1/2 signal pathways GSE
resveratrol induces colon cancer cell Apoptosis.
Resveratrol as a promising anti-cancer agent hinders pro-
cancerous metabolism through PKM2 down regulation.
