    Abstract This book discusses the emergence of a new class of genes with a specific anticancer activity. These genes, recently defined as 'Anticancer Genes', are reviewed in individual chapters on their mode of action, the specific cell death signals they induce, and the status of attempts to translate them into clinical application. Anticancer Genes provides an overview of this nascent field, its genesis, current state, and prospect. It discusses how Anticancer Genes might lead to the identification of a repertoire of signaling pathways directed against cellular alterations that are specific for tumor cells. With contributions from experts worldwide, Anticancer Genes is an essential guide to this dynamic topic for researchers and students in cancer research, molecular medicine, pharmacology and toxicology and genetics as well as clinicians and clinical researchers interested in the therapeutic potential of this exciting new field.

    Abstract While more primitive organism such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster feature a limited, and by now probably mostly known, array of basic cell death factors, the mammalian cell is replete with additional regulators of the cell's demise. This abundance of apoptosis mediators has made it imperative to set up a systematic inventory of mammalian cell death genes. Genetic screens in this biological system have recently uncovered the rich diversity of cell death signalling and have in particular highlighted mitochondria as an organelle loaded with apoptosis regulators. Many of the screens that have addressed this utilised the novel technique of RNA interference but some also looked at gain-of-functions with transfected cDNAs. Here we give an overview of the rationale for the latter approach, present the genes discovered by this strategy and in particular describe the involvement of mitochondria and their signalling pathways defined by those genes.

    Abstract When cellular organelles communicate bad things can happen. Recent findings uncovered that the junction between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria holds a crucial role for cell death regulation. Not only does this locale connect the two best-known organelles in apoptosis, numerous regulators of cell death are concentrated at this spot, providing a terrain for intense signal transfers. Ca2+ is the most prominent signalling factor that is released from the ER and, at high concentration, mediates the transfer of an apoptosis signal to mitochondria as the executioner organelle for cell death. An elaborate array of checks and balances is fine-tuning this process including Bcl-2 family members. Moreover, MAMs, "mitochondria-associated membranes", are distinct membrane sections at the ER that are in close contact with mitochondria and have been found to exchange lipids and lipid-derived molecules such as ceramide for apoptosis induction. Recent work has also described a reverse transfer of apoptosis signals, from mitochondria to the ER, via cytochrome c release and prolonged IP3R opening or through the mitochondrial fission factor Fis1 and Bap31 at the ER, which form the ARCosome, a novel caspase-activation complex.

  7. Article: Respiratory chain complex II as general sensor for apoptosis.

    Abstract I review here the evidence that complex II of the respiratory chain (RC) constitutes a general sensor for apoptosis induction. This concept emerged from work on neurodegenerative diseases and from recent data on metabolic alterations in cancer cells affecting the RC and in particular on mutations of complex II subunits. It is also supported by experiments with many anticancer compounds that compared the apoptosis sensitivities of complex II-deficient versus WT cells. These results are explained by the mechanistic understanding of how complex II mediates the diverse range of apoptosis signals. This protein aggregate is specifically activated for apoptosis by pH change as a common and early feature of dying cells. This leads to the dissociation of its SDHA and SDHB subunits from the remaining membrane-anchored subunits and the consequent block of it enzymatic SQR activity, while its SDH activity, which is contained in the SDHA/SDHB subcomplex, remains intact. The uncontrolled SDH activity then generates excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species for the demise of the cell. Future studies on these mitochondrial processes will help refine this model, unravel the contribution of mutations in complex II subunits as the cause of degenerative neurological diseases and tumorigenesis, and aid in discovering novel interference options. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Respiratory complex II: Role in cellular physiology and disease.

    Abstract Do people blame refugees for negative events? We propose a novel experimental paradigm to measure discrimination in responsibility attribution towards Arabic refugees. Participants in the laboratory experience a positive or negative income shock, which is with equal probability caused by a random draw or another participant’s performance in a real effort task. Responsibility attribution is measured by beliefs about whether the shock is due to the other participant's performance or the random draw. We find evidence for reverse discrimination: Natives attribute responsibility more favorably to refugees than to other natives. In particular, refugees are less often held responsible for negative income shocks. Moreover, natives with negative implicit a sociations towards Arabic names attribute responsibility less favorably to refugees than natives with positive associations. Since neither actual performance differences nor beliefs about natives' and refugees' performance can explain our finding of reverse discrimination, we rule out statistical discrimination as the driving force. We discuss explanations based on theories of self-image and identity concerns.

    Abstract Background: When ectopically overexpressed, anticancer genes, such as TRAIL, PAR4 and ORCTL3, specifically destroy tumour cells without harming untransformed cells. Anticancer genes can not only serve as powerful tumour specific therapy tools but studying their mode of action can reveal mechanisms underlying the neoplastic transformation, sustenance and spread.
    Methods: Anticancer gene discovery is normally accidental. Here we describe a systematic, gain of function, forward genetic screen in mammalian cells to isolate novel anticancer genes of human origin. Continuing with over 30,000 transcripts from our previous study, 377 cell death inducing genes were subjected to screening. FBLN5 was chosen, as a proof of principle, for mechanistic gene expression profiling, comparison pathways analyses and functional studies.
    Results: Sixteen novel anticancer genes were isolated; these included non-coding RNAs, protein-coding genes and novel transcripts, such as ZNF436-AS1, SMLR1, TMEFF2, LINC01529, HYAL2, NEIL2, FBLN5, YPEL4 and PHKA2-processed transcript. FBLN5 selectively caused inhibition of MYC in COS-7 (transformed) cells but not in CV-1 (normal) cells. MYC was identified as synthetic lethality partner of FBLN5 where MYC transformed CV-1 cells experienced cell death upon FBLN5 transfection, whereas FBLN5 lost cell death induction in MCF-7 cells upon MYC knockdown.
    Conclusions: Sixteen novel anticancer genes are present in human genome including FBLN5. MYC is a synthetic lethality partner of FBLN5. Video Abstract.
