CD99 signals caspase-independent T cell death.
Death signaling by Fas and TNF receptors plays a major role in the control of activated mature T cells. However, the nature of the death receptors, which may be used by the immune system to control T cells that have not acquired susceptibility to Fas ligand or TNF, is not established. In this study, we demonstrate that engagement of distinct epitopes on CD99 rapidly induces T cell death by a no...
متن کاملCaspase-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 کاملCD47 signals T cell death.
Activation-induced death of T cells regulates immune responses and is considered to involve apoptosis induced by ligation of Fas and TNF receptors. The role of other receptors in signaling T cell death is less clear. In this study we demonstrate that activation of specific epitopes on the Ig variable domain of CD47 rapidly induces apoptosis of T cells. A new mAb, Ad22, to this site induces apop...
متن کاملBlocking caspase-independent death
In This Issue In This Issue ROCK and Rho will never Dia irectional migration of a cell requires both lamellipodia formation at the leading edge and actomyosin contraction within the tail. New results from Tsuji et al. (page 819) indicate that Rho may mediate both tasks, and that these two arms of Rho signaling are antagonistic. Rho signaling is known to mediate the formation of stress fibers, s...
متن کاملCaspase-independent cell death induced by anti-CD2 or staurosporine in activated human peripheral T lymphocytes.
We examined the effects of the cell-permeable, broad spectrum peptide caspase inhibitors, benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (Z-VAD.fmk), and BOC-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethyl ketone (BOC-D.fmk), on apoptosis induced by anti-CD2, anti-Fas, and the protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine in activated human peripheral T lymphocytes. We monitored ultrastructural, flow cytometric, and bi...
