Loss of mitochondrial membrane integrity and release of apoptogenic factors are a key step in the signaling cascade leading to neuronal cell death in various neurological disorders, including ischemic injury. Emerging evidence has suggested that the intramitochondrial protein apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) translocates to the nucleus and promotes caspase-independent cell death induced by gluta...
The goals of this study were to determine 1) the expression of calpain isoforms in rabbit renal proximal tubules (RPT); 2) calpain autolysis and translocation, and calpastatin levels during RPT injury; and 3) the effect of a calpain inhibitor (PD-150606) on calpain levels, mitochondrial function, and ion transport during RPT injury. RT-PCR, immunoblot analysis, and FITC-casein zymography demons...
A Chinese hamster ovary cell line (CHOp) was cultured in the presence of benzyloxycarbonyl-Leu-Leu-Tyr diazomethyl ketone (ZLLY-CHN2), to select for resistance to this cell-permeant calpain inhibitor. A clone isolated after several courses of exposure (SHI cells) demonstrated decreased sensitivity to ZLLY-CHN2 toxicity and a decreased growth rate. SHI cells also possessed less mu-calpain isozym...
We here investigated the effect of bis(1-oxy-2-pyridinethiolato) oxovanadium (IV), [VO(OPT)], against myocardial hypertrophy and cardiac functional recovery in pressure overload-induced hypertrophy in ovariectomized female rats and defined mechanisms underlying its cardioprotective action. Wistar rats subjected to bilateral ovariectomy were further treated with abdominal aortic stenosis. VO(OPT...
Evidence is presented that the calcium-activated protease, calpain, is required for differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes induced by methylisobutylxanthine (a cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor), dexamethasone, and insulin. Calpain is expressed by preadipocytes and its level falls during differentiation. Exposure of preadipocytes to the calpain inhibitor N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norleuc...
Forty-eight crossbred rabbits were used in three replications of a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement to investigate the short-term responses of tissue accretion, calpains and calpastatin activity, and nucleic acid and protein concentrations to beta-adrenergic agonist (BAA) feeding. Rabbits were fed a 17% CP diet with or without 7 ppm of L644,969 and slaughtered after 1, 4, 8, or 16 d of treatment. Em...
A member of the attaching and effacing (AE) family of pathogens, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) induces dramatic changes to the intestinal cell cytoskeleton, including effacement of microvilli. Effacement by the related pathogen enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) requires the activity of the Ca(+2)-dependent host protease, calpain, which participates in a variety of cellular processes, ...
Ubiquitous calpains (mu- and m-calpain) have been repeatedly implicated in apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain(s) to be elucidated. We examined ionomycin-induced cell death in LCLC 103H cells, derived from a human large cell lung carcinoma. We detected hallmarks of apoptosis such as membrane blebbing, nuclear condensation, DNA ladder formation, caspase activation, and poly-(ADP-ri...
Polymorphisms. BamHI, EcoRI, and TaqI restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the bovine calpastatin locus. Source and Description of Probe. A 2.2-kb cDNA insert coding for Domains 2 through 4 plus a 3’ untranslated region of the bovine calpastatin gene was excised from the pBluescript vector (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) with EcoRI and XhoI. Method of Detection. Nylon filters were prehybridi...
BACKGROUND Our recent study has demonstrated that inhibition of calpain by transgenic overexpression of calpastatin reduces myocardial proinflammatory response and dysfunction in endotoxemia. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined. In this study, we used cardiomyocyte-specific capn4 knockout mice to investigate whether and how calpain disrupts ATP synthase and induces mitoch...
