Inhibition of cathepsin B activity reduces apoptosis by preventing cytochrome c release from mitochondria in porcine parthenotes
Cathepsin B, a lysosomal cysteine protease of the papain family, has recently been implicated in the quality and developmental competence of bovine preimplantation embryos. In this study, to determine whether inhibition of cathepsin B activity can improve porcine oocyte maturation and early embryo developmental competence, we supplemented in vitro maturation or embryo culture media with E-64, a...
متن کاملCyclosporin A inhibits apoptosis of human endothelial cells by preventing release of cytochrome C from mitochondria.
BACKGROUND Several experimental and clinical studies suggest that cyclosporin A (CSA) treatment reduces transplant atherosclerosis. Because oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is believed to play a key role in the development of atherogenesis, causing injury to the endothelium, and has been shown to induce apoptosis of endothelial cells, we investigated whether CSA inhibits oxLDL-induced apoptosis. METHODS ...
متن کاملAkt/Protein kinase B inhibits cell death by preventing the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.
Growth factors signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt pathway promote cell survival. The mechanism by which the serine/threonine kinase Akt prevents cell death remains unclear. We have previously shown that Akt inhibits the activity of DEVD-targeted caspases without changing the steady-state levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L). Here we show that Akt inhibits apoptosis and the processing o...
متن کاملCoxiella burnetii inhibits activation of host cell apoptosis through a mechanism that involves preventing cytochrome c release from mitochondria.
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular pathogen and the etiological agent of the human disease Q fever. C. burnetii infects mammalian cells and then remodels the membrane-bound compartment in which it resides into a unique lysosome-derived organelle that supports bacterial multiplication. To gain insight into the mechanisms by which C. burnetii is able to multiply intracellularly, we ex...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide protects primary B lymphocytes from apoptosis by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and bax translocation to mitochondria.
Mature B lymphocytes undergo apoptosis when they are cultured in the absence of survival factors. Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) prevents this spontaneous apoptosis. This study aimed to better define the signaling pathway(s) involved in the antiapoptotic activity of this endotoxin. We report here that, in addition to its effects on spontaneous apoptosis, LPS protects B cells f...
