Caspase-independent cell death
Caspase-mediated apoptosis is the death program of choice in many developmental and physiologic settings (Kerr et al., 1972; Strasser et al., 2000; Kaufmann and Hengartner, 2001). It would, however, be very dangerous for the organism to depend on a single protease family for clearance of unwanted and potentially dangerous cells. Indeed, the exclusive role of caspases in the execution of program...
متن کاملInterdigital cell death can occur through a necrotic and caspase-independent pathway
Programmed cell death in animals is usually associated with apoptotic morphology and requires caspase activation. Necrosis and caspase-independent cell death have been reported, but mostly in experimental conditions that lead some to question their existence it in vivo. Loss of interdigital cells in the mouse embryo, a paradigm of cell death during development [1], is known to include an apopto...
متن کاملCaspase-2 Mediated Apoptotic and Necrotic Murine Macrophage Cell Death Induced by Rough Brucella abortus
Brucella species are Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria that cause zoonotic brucellosis. Survival and replication inside macrophages is critical for establishment of chronic Brucella infection. Virulent smooth B. abortus strain 2308 inhibits programmed macrophage cell death and replicates inside macrophages. Cattle B. abortus vaccine strain RB51 is an attenuated rough, lipopolysa...
متن کاملCaspase-mediated apoptosis and caspase-independent cell death induced by irofulven in prostate cancer cells.
Irofulven (hydroxymethylacylfulvene) is a novel antitumor drug, which acts by alkylating cellular macromolecular targets. The drug is a potent inducer of apoptosis in various types of tumor cells, whereas it is nonapoptotic in normal cells. This study defined molecular responses to irofulven involving mitochondrial dysfunction and leading to death of prostate tumor LNCaP-Pro5 cells. Irofulven c...
متن کاملNF-κB Potentiates Caspase Independent Hydrogen Peroxide Induced Cell Death
BACKGROUND The pro-survival activity of NF-κB in response to a variety of stimuli has been extensively characterized. Although there have been a few reports addressing the pro-cell death role of NF-κB, the precise mechanism of NF-κB's pro-cell death function still remains elusive. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In the present study, we investigated the role of NF-κB in cell death induced by c...
