Apoptotic and nonapoptotic function of caspase 7 in spermatogenesis
Recent studies have reported that caspase 7 has an apoptotic and nonapoptotic function. However, the relationship between caspase 7 and spermatogenesis remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the possible function of caspase 7 during normal and abnormal spermatogenesis. The cleaved form of caspase 7 was detected in testis tissues at different postpartum times (5-14 weeks) by qRT-PCR, W...
متن کاملSpermatogenesis: borrowing the apoptotic machinery
The apoptotic machinery is utilized for a wide variety of tasks during development. Recent work has uncovered a new, non-apoptotic role for these factors during the individualization process of maturing spermatids.
متن کاملA non-apoptotic role for caspase-9 in muscle differentiation.
Caspases, a family of cysteine proteases most often investigated for their roles in apoptosis, have also been demonstrated to have functions that are vital for the efficient execution of cell differentiation. One such role that has been described is the requirement of caspase-3 for the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts into myotubes but, as yet, the mechanism leading to caspase-3 activation...
متن کاملAn inhibitory mono-ubiquitylation of the Drosophila initiator caspase Dronc functions in both apoptotic and non-apoptotic pathways
Apoptosis is an evolutionary conserved cell death mechanism, which requires activation of initiator and effector caspases. The Drosophila initiator caspase Dronc, the ortholog of mammalian Caspase-2 and Caspase-9, has an N-terminal CARD domain that recruits Dronc into the apoptosome for activation. In addition to its role in apoptosis, Dronc also has non-apoptotic functions such as compensatory...
متن کاملApoptotic and non-apoptotic programmed cardiomyocyte death in ventricular remodelling.
A defining cellular event in the transition from compensated hypertrophy to dilated cardiomyopathy is cardiomyocyte drop-out due to apoptosis, programmed necrosis, and autophagy. The importance of apoptosis in heart failure has been recognized for over a decade, while other forms of programmed cell death have more recently been appreciated, and their pathophysiological roles continue to be defi...
