Blocking caspase-independent death
In This Issue In This Issue ROCK and Rho will never Dia irectional migration of a cell requires both lamellipodia formation at the leading edge and actomyosin contraction within the tail. New results from Tsuji et al. (page 819) indicate that Rho may mediate both tasks, and that these two arms of Rho signaling are antagonistic. Rho signaling is known to mediate the formation of stress fibers, s...
متن کاملCaspase-independent cell death
Caspase-mediated apoptosis is the death program of choice in many developmental and physiologic settings (Kerr et al., 1972; Strasser et al., 2000; Kaufmann and Hengartner, 2001). It would, however, be very dangerous for the organism to depend on a single protease family for clearance of unwanted and potentially dangerous cells. Indeed, the exclusive role of caspases in the execution of program...
متن کاملCD99 signals caspase-independent T cell death.
Death signaling by Fas and TNF receptors plays a major role in the control of activated mature T cells. However, the nature of the death receptors, which may be used by the immune system to control T cells that have not acquired susceptibility to Fas ligand or TNF, is not established. In this study, we demonstrate that engagement of distinct epitopes on CD99 rapidly induces T cell death by a no...
متن کاملCaspase-independent component of retinal ganglion cell death, in vitro.
PURPOSE Although in vitro and in vivo models demonstrate caspase activation in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) undergoing apoptosis, the caspase-independent component of RGC death is unclear. Identification of the precise mechanisms of cell death in these distinct neurons is essential for the development of effective neuroprotective strategies in glaucoma. Because TNF-alpha and hypoxia have been ...
متن کاملFilling a GAP(DH) in Caspase-Independent Cell Death
Mitochondrial outer-membrane permeabilization can lead to cell death even without activation of caspases. In this issue of Cell, Colell et al. (2007) identify the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase as a potent inhibitor of caspase-independent cell death that may allow metabolically active cells to survive mitochondrial insult.
