ROS signaling during granzyme B-mediated apoptosis
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in cell signaling, aging, and death and play a role in carcinogenesis. However, whether ROS are bystanders or active effectors of apoptosis was unclear until recently. New evidence shows that the killer lymphocyte protease granzyme B activates a conserved biochemical pathway centered on respiratory chain disruption to trigger mitocentric ROS-dependent ...
متن کاملGranzyme A induces caspase-independent mitochondrial damage, a required first step for apoptosis.
Granzyme A (GzmA) triggers cell death with apoptotic features by targeting the endoplasmic reticulum-associated SET complex, which contains the GzmA-activated DNase NM23-H1, its inhibitor SET, and Ape1. The SET complex was postulated to translocate to the nucleus in response to oxidative stress and participate in its repair. Because mitochondrial damage is important in apoptosis, we investigate...
متن کاملSurvivin and Granzyme B-induced apoptosis, a novel anticancer therapy.
Survivin is an antiapoptotic protein highly expressed in malignant cells that confers resistance to cytotoxic therapy. Granzyme B is a potent cytotoxic protein that is released from mammalian natural killer cells and CTLs following noxious stimuli, including foreign invaders. Here, we took advantage of the properties of these two functionally divergent molecules to create a molecular agent that...
متن کاملMitochondria-dependent and -independent Regulation of Granzyme B–induced Apoptosis
Granzyme B (GraB) is required for the efficient activation of apoptosis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. We find that GraB and perforin induce severe mitochondrial perturbation as evidenced by the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol and suppression of transmembrane potential (Deltapsi). The earliest mitochondrial event was the release of cytochrome c, which occurred at ...
متن کاملRescue from granzyme B-induced apoptosis by Wee1 kinase
Granzymes are a family of granule-associated serine esterases that mediate apoptosis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. We have previously shown that cdc2, the mitosis-regulating cyclin-dependent kinase, is required for granzyme B-induced apoptosis in target cells. In addition, granzyme B induces premature activation and tyrosine dephosphorylation of cdc2 during apoptosis. Thr...
