Caspase-11 plays an essential role in methamphetamine-induced dopaminergic neuron apoptosis.
Methamphetamine (METH) is an extremely addictive stimulant drug that is widely used with high potential of abuse. Previous studies have shown that METH exposure damages the nervous system, especially dopaminergic neurons. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of METH-induced neurotoxicity remain unclear. We hypothesized that caspase-11 is involved in METH-induced neuronal apoptosis. We tested...
متن کاملFOXO1 plays an essential role in apoptosis of retinal pericytes
PURPOSE An early and significant event in diabetic retinopathy is the loss of retinal microvascular pericytes. Studies were performed to investigate pathways through which an advanced glycation endproduct and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha stimulate apoptosis in retinal pericytes through the activation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1). METHODS Human retinal...
متن کاملSTAT1 plays an essential role in LPS/D-galactosamine-induced liver apoptosis and injury.
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) has been implicated in liver damage in animal models and chronic hepatitis C infection; however, the underlying mechanism is not clear. Here we examined the role of STAT1, a key signaling molecule for IFN-gamma, in a model of murine hepatitis induced by the injection of LPS/D-galactosamine and in human hepatoma Hep3B cells. STAT1 is rapidly activated and highly indu...
متن کاملCaspase-8 has an essential role in resveratrol-induced apoptosis of rheumatoid fibroblast-like synoviocytes.
OBJECTIVE Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol, which possesses chemotherapeutic potential through its ability to trigger apoptosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the major determinant for the apoptotic cell death induction by resveratrol in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) derived from patients with RA. METHODS The effect of resveratrol on apoptotic cell death w...
متن کاملSertad1 plays an essential role in developmental and pathological neuron death.
Developmental and pathological death of neurons requires activation of a defined pathway of cell cycle proteins. However, it is unclear how this pathway is regulated and whether it is relevant in vivo. A screen for transcripts robustly induced in cultured neurons by DNA damage identified Sertad1, a Cdk4 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4) activator. Sertad1 is also induced in neurons by nerve growth fa...
