Ionomycin-activated calpain triggers apoptosis. A probable role for Bcl-2 family members.
Ubiquitous calpains (mu- and m-calpain) have been repeatedly implicated in apoptosis, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain(s) to be elucidated. We examined ionomycin-induced cell death in LCLC 103H cells, derived from a human large cell lung carcinoma. We detected hallmarks of apoptosis such as membrane blebbing, nuclear condensation, DNA ladder formation, caspase activation, and poly-(ADP-ri...
متن کاملrole of calpain in apoptosis
apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death that occurs under physiological as well as pathological conditions, is characterized by morphological and biochemical features. while the importance of caspases in apoptosis is established, several noncaspase proteases (ca2+-dependent proteases) such as calpain may play a role in the execution of apoptosis. the calpain family consists of two major isof...
متن کاملCadmium-induced ceramide formation triggers calpain-dependent apoptosis in cultured kidney proximal tubule cells.
A major target of cadmium (Cd(2+)) toxicity is the kidney proximal tubule (PT) cell. Cd(2+)-induced apoptosis of PT cells is mediated by sequential activation of calpains at 3-6 h and caspases-9 and -3 after 24-h exposure. Calpains also partly contribute to caspase activation, which emphasizes the importance of calpains for PT apoptosis by Cd(2+). Upstream processes underlying Cd(2+)-induced ca...

متن کاملEvolvulus alsinoides methanolic extract triggers apoptosis in HepG2 cells
Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cytotoxic potentials of Evolvulus alsinoides in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with methanolic extract of E. alsinoides at 20, 40 and 80 µg/ml for 24 hr and cytotoxic effect was analyzed by MTT assay. The apoptosis rate was investigated by Hoechst 33342 and annexin V/propidium iodide s...
