Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8.
Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in vitro settings. Numerous publications characterize the role of the heme-catabolizing enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in regulating apoptotic process...
متن کاملCaspase-3 and Caspase-6 cleave STAT1 in leukemic cells
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-1 (STAT1) is phosphorylated upon interferon (IFN) stimulation, which can restrict cell proliferation and survival. Nevertheless, in some cancers STAT1 can act in an anti-apoptotic manner. Moreover, certain malignancies are characterized by the overexpression and constitutive activation of STAT1. Here, we demonstrate that the treatment of transfor...
متن کاملCaspase-3 and caspase-7 but not caspase-6 cleave Gas2 in vitro: implications for microfilament reorganization during apoptosis.
Apoptosis is characterized by proteolysis of specific cellular proteins by a family of cystein proteases known as caspases. Gas2, a component of the microfilament system, is cleaved during apoptosis and the cleaved form specifically regulates microfilaments and cell shape changes. We now demonstrate that Gas2 is a substrate of caspase-3 but not of caspase-6. Proteolytic processing both in vitro...
متن کاملCaspase 1 and caspase 8 in HIV infected patients with and without tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Caspase 8 is involved in apoptosis mediated by Fas and p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor ligation in HIV infection. Apoptosis is partially mediated by interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (caspase-1). AIMS We determined apoptosis, using caspase-1 and caspase-8, among patients with HIV infection, with and without tuberculosis (TB), those with TB alone and healthy individuals. SETT...
متن کاملCaspase-1, caspase-8, and calpain are dispensable for IL-33 release by macrophages.
In addition to IL-1 and IL-18, IL-33 was recently identified as a member of the IL-1 cytokine family. rIL-33 can promote production of Th2-type cytokines by Th2 cells and mast cells in vitro. Administration of rIL-33 to mice results in increases in IgE secretion and eosinophilic inflammation. However, the precise immune cell source of IL-33 remains unclear. Moreover, although recombinant pro-IL...
