Cell Fleeing from Death Phenomenon

Abstract

Cell fleeing from death phenomenon occurs as either complete or incomplete; the phenomenon is incomplete fleeing from death when cell blocks intrinsic death program only. But, it becomes complete fleeing from death if the cell successfully blocks the pathway of intrinsic and extrinsic programs of cell death. This phenomenon is induced by the formation of hydrogen peroxide which activates nuclear factor kappa B. The nuclear factor-kappa B stimulates the expression of several genes, to produces 6 factors (BcL-2, Muc-1, MMPs, DcR3, Muc-4, muc-16, and TNF-α). Such factors act as blockers of the pathway of intrinsic and extrinsic programs of cell death. These blockers convert normal cell to a cancer cell. If these blockers are removed, the death programs of cancer cells will run again and cancer will disappear.
