We first examined Caspase 3, which is a caspase of the final common pathway of apoptosis, activated both by extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways, and cleaved PARP, one of several known cellular substrates cleaved by Caspase 3. Then we analyzed Caspase 8 and Caspase 9, initiator caspases to extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways, respectively.
Hegde et al[9] have hypothesized that Ctm-PrP is a component of a common pathway of neurodegeneration underlying both infectious and genetic forms of prion disease, and that PrPSc is pathogenic because it enhances the formation of Ctm-PrP[9 Ctm-PrP[9
We presume that Ctm-PrP may be a component of a common pathway of neurodegeneration underlying both infectious and genetic forms of prion disease, and that PrPSc pathogenic because it enhances the formation of Ctm-PrP[27].
Interestingly, 4-BPB also blocks invasion by Plasmodium falciparum blood stages (Moritz Treeck, personal communication), suggesting that the drug is blocking a common pathway of rhoptry secretion in both parasites.
The model is based on the airway route of infection which is the most common pathway of infection in humans; intratracheal infection ensures equal distribution over both lungs and accurate control of the infecting dose.
Another possibility of the association is that both psychopathology and QOL share a common pathway of causality.
Accumulating evidence implicates PC-1 and TSC2 in the mTOR pathway [22], [24], [33] suggesting that both PKD and TSC may share a common pathway of renal cystogenesis.
"You can see the common pathway of death and suffering is heart failure," said Prof Yacoub.
