Abstract

PATHWAY OF THE MONTH Tumor Necrosis Factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) Pathway Signaling Andrew Thorburn, DPhil also function as a decoy/inhibitor by sequestering TRAIL Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)/ extracellularly. Much current interest in TRAIL derives from Apo1L is a death ligand, a cytokine that activates apoptosis through its roles in cancer development and treatment. In particular, cell surface death receptors. TRAIL is thought to be important in 1,2 recombinant TRAIL and agonistic antibodies that recog- host tumor surveillance and metastasis suppression, and various 3,4 nize TRAIL receptors have been shown to kill many tumor therapeutic agonists that activate TRAIL receptors to induce tumor cells while leaving most normal cells unscathed and display- cell apoptosis are in clinical development. This review discusses ing little toxicity when delivered systemically to animals and recent findings about TRAIL pathway signaling and relates the people. It is therefore hoped that these agents may be useful signaling mechanisms to issues that need to be considered as we try 5–7 to treat cancer.
