Diatom-derived oxylipins induce cell death in sea urchin embryos activating caspase-8 and caspase 3/7.
Diatoms are an important class of unicellular algae that produce bioactive secondary metabolites with cytotoxic activity collectively termed oxylipins, including polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), hydroxyacids (HEPEs), oxo-acids and epoxyalcohols. Previous results showed that at higher concentrations, the PUA decadienal induced apoptosis on copepods and sea urchin embryos via caspase-3 activatio...
متن کاملThe Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos
During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...
متن کاملThe Death Effector Domains of Caspase-8 Induce Terminal Differentiation
The differentiation and senescence programs of metazoans play key roles in regulating normal development and preventing aberrant cell proliferation, such as cancer. These programs are intimately associated with both the mitotic and apoptotic pathways. Caspase-8 is an apical apoptotic initiator that has recently been appreciated to coordinate non-apoptotic roles in the cell. Most of these functi...
متن کاملA marine diatom-derived aldehyde induces apoptosis in copepod and sea urchin embryos.
The diatom-derived aldehyde 2-trans-4-trans-decadienal (DD) was tested as an apoptogenic inducer in both copepod and sea urchin embryos, using terminal-deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL), DNA fragmentation profiling (laddering) and an assay for caspase-3 activity. DD induced TUNEL positivity and DNA laddering, but not caspase-like activation, in copepod embryo...
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...
