Serpin protein CrmA suppresses hypoxia-mediated apoptosis of ventricular myocytes.
BACKGROUND In this study, we ascertain whether caspase 8 activation and mitochondrial defects underlie apoptosis of ventricular myocytes during hypoxia. As an approach to circumvent the potential shortcomings surrounding the limited permeability and short half-life of the synthetic peptide inhibitors designed to block caspase activation, we constructed a replication-defective adenovirus encodin...
متن کاملCytotoxic T-lymphocyte–mediated Apoptosis of Dystrophic Muscle
Myonuclear apoptosis is an early event in the pathology of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in the mdx mouse. However, events that initiate apoptosis in muscular dystrophy are unknown, and whether elimination of apoptosis can ameliorate subsequent muscle wasting remains a major question. We have tested the hypothesis that cytotoxic T-lymphocytes initiate myonuclear apoptosis in dystrophi...
متن کاملExpression of the Serpin Serine Protease Inhibitor 6 Protects Dendritic Cells from Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte–Induced Apoptosis
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in the immune system as they drive activation of T lymphocytes by cognate interactions. However, as DCs express high levels of major histocompatibility complex class I, this intimate contact may also result in elimination of DCs by activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and thereby limit induction of immunity. We show here that immature DCs are indeed...
متن کاملHantavirus-infection Confers Resistance to Cytotoxic Lymphocyte-Mediated Apoptosis
Hantaviruses cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and hantavirus cardio-pulmonary syndrome (HCPS; also called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS)), both human diseases with high case-fatality rates. Endothelial cells are the main targets for hantaviruses. An intriguing observation in patients with HFRS and HCPS is that on one hand the virus infection leads to strong activation of ...
متن کاملInterleukin 27 inhibits cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated platelet destruction in primary immune thrombocytopenia.
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated platelet destruction and aberrant cytokine profiles play important roles in the pathogenesis of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Interleukin-27 (IL-27) has pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects. However, the effect of IL-27 on CTL activity in ITP has not been reported. In the present study, platelets from ITP patients were cultured with autologous CTLs...
