Fas-independent mitochondrial damage triggers cardiomyocyte death after ischemia-reperfusion.
The Fas/Fas ligand and mitochondria pathways have been involved in cell death in several cell types. We combined the genetic inactivation of the Fas receptor (lpr mice), on the one hand, to the pharmacological inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), on the other hand, to investigate which of these pathways is predominantly activated during prolonged ischemia-reperfu...
متن کاملDisuccinyl betulin triggers metacaspase-dependent endonuclease G-mediated cell death in unicellular protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani.
The unicellular organism Leishmania undergoes apoptosis-like cell death in response to external stress or exposure to antileishmanial agents. Here, we showed that 3-O,28-O-disuccinyl betulin (DiSB), a potent topoisomerase type IB inhibitor, induced parasitic cell death by generating oxidative stress. The characteristic feature of the death process resembled the programmed cell death (PCD) seen ...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum Metacaspase PfMCA-1 Triggers a z-VAD-fmk Inhibitable Protease to Promote Cell Death
Activation of proteolytic cell death pathways may circumvent drug resistance in deadly protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Leishmania. To this end, it is important to define the cell death pathway(s) in parasites and thus characterize proteases such as metacaspases (MCA), which have been reported to induce cell death in plants and Leishmania parasites. We, therefore, investiga...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dysfunction Links Ceramide Activated HRK Expression and Cell Death
PURPOSE Cell death is an essential process in normal development and homeostasis. In eyes, corneal epithelial injury leads to the death of cells in underlying stroma, an event believed to initiate corneal wound healing. The molecular basis of wound induced corneal stromal cell death is not understood in detail. Studies of others have indicated that ceramide may play significant role in stromal ...
متن کاملA Non-Death Role of the Yeast Metacaspase: Yca1p Alters Cell Cycle Dynamics
Caspase proteases are a conserved protein family predominantly known for engaging and executing apoptotic cell death. Nevertheless, in higher eukaryotes, caspases also influence a variety of cell behaviors including differentiation, proliferation and growth control. S. cerevisiae expresses a primordial caspase, yca1, and exhibits apoptosis-like death under certain stresses; however, the benefit...
