We recently reported an association between loss in T-cell receptor (TcR) zeta-chain expression and tumor-induced apoptosis of T lymphocytes. In this study, the possibility that zeta-chain serves as a direct substrate for activated caspases was investigated. Here, we report that two DXXD motifs, which are putative recognition sequences for caspase-3-related proteases and are present in the amin...
Cryptosporidium parvum is an obligate intracellular protozoan capable of causing severe diarrheal disease in a wide variety of mammals, including humans. C. parvum infection has been associated with induction of apoptosis in exposed epithelial cells, and we now demonstrate that apoptosis is restricted to a subset of cells actively infected with C. parvum. Approximately 20% of the infected cells...
Murine L929 fibrosarcoma cells were transfected with the human Fas (APO-1/CD95) receptor, and the role of various caspases in Fas-mediated cell death was assessed. Proteolytic activation of procaspase-3 and -7 was shown by Western analysis. Acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethylketone and benzyloxycarbonyl-Asp(OMe)-Glu(OMe)-Val-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethylketone++ +, tetrapeptide inhibitors of caspase-1-...
We show that mouse sperm die spontaneously within 1-2 days in culture and that treatment with either staurosporine (STS) and cycloheximide (CHX) or a peptide caspase inhibitor does not accelerate or delay the cell death. Chicken erythrocytes, by contrast, are induced to die by either serum deprivation or treatment with STS and CHX, and embryonic erythrocytes are more sensitive than adult erythr...
Caspases are well-known enzymes that work as initiators and effectors of apoptosis. To elucidate the role of caspases in neurodevelopment, we sought to determine if caspases are involved in the proliferation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NPCs) in the developing mouse brain. Labeling with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) from days 14 to 18 of pregnant mice revealed that the 18-d old fetus had m...
Oxidative stress in the vascular wall has intimately been implicated in the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). However, the major type of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in this apoptotic signaling pathway remains to be clarified. In this study, we report that superoxide mediate LPC-induced caspase-3 dependent apoptosis in cultured HUVEC...
Purpose Caspases are common mediators of cell death. Evasion death including apoptosis considered to be hallmarks cancer. A deeper understanding the apoptotic cascade may aid improving cancer therapies. Our aim was characterize progression following UV-induced genotoxic injury in a defined culture model.Materials and methods Hela cells were UV-irradiated with doses ranging from 0.1 60 mJ/cm2. C...
Activation of caspase-1 through the inflammasome protein Nalp1b controls anthrax lethal toxin (LT)-induced necrosis in murine macrophages. In this study we analyzed physiological changes controlled by caspase-1 in LT-treated murine macrophages. The caspase-1 inhibitor Boc-D-cmk blocked caspase-1 activity and membrane impairment in LT-treated cells. To determine the relationship between caspase-...
The naturally occurring cyclic tetrapeptide chlamydocin is a very potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. Here we show that chlamydocin is a highly potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, inhibiting HDAC activity in vitro with an IC(50) of 1.3 nM. Like other HDAC inhibitors, chlamydocin induces the accumulation of hyperacetylated histones H3 and H4 in A2780 ovarian cancer cells, increases ...
