Lymphokine-induced production and release of lysosomal enzymes by macrophages.
MACROPHAGES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MOST CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY LESIONS, AND THESE CELLS CONTAIN ENZYMES THAT ARE ABLE TO DESTROY CONNECTIVE TISSUE CONSTITUENTS. Normal lymphoid cells responding to a mitogen, phytohemagglutinin-P, release factor(s) that cause a marked increase in the size and enzyme content for mononuclear phagocytes maintained in culture. The stimulated macrophages, which by several...
متن کاملProtective Role of Apigenin Against Aβ 25-35 Toxicity Via Inhibition of Mitochondrial Cytochrome c Release
Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction is the most common problem of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). The pathological mechanism of cognitive impairment in AD may contribute to neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction, and alteration in neurotransmitters receptors. Mitochondrial synapses dysfunction due to the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) is one of the earliest pathological features of AD. Th...
متن کاملCardiac mitochondrial cGMP stimulates cytochrome c release.
Although the existence of cardiac mitochondrial cGMP has been reported previously [Kimura and Murad (1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 6910-6916], the physiological and pathophysiological properties of cGMP in cardiac mitochondria have remained unknown. The aim of the present study was to clarify whether cardiac mitochondrial cGMP regulates the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. In the presence of GTP, the N...
متن کاملBax and Bak independently promote cytochrome C release from mitochondria.
Pro-apoptotic Bax and Bak have been implicated in the regulation of p53-dependent apoptosis. We assessed the ability of primary baby mouse kidney (BMK) epithelial cells from bax(-/-), bak(-/-), and bax(-/-) bak(-/-) mice to be transformed by E1A alone or in conjunction with dominant-negative p53 (p53DD). Although E1A alone transformed BMK cells from p53-deficient mice, E1A alone did not transfo...
متن کاملDissipation of potassium and proton gradients inhibits mitochondrial hyperpolarization and cytochrome c release during neural apoptosis.
Exposure of rat hippocampal neurons or human D283 medulloblastoma cells to the apoptosis-inducing kinase inhibitor staurosporine induced rapid cytochrome c release from mitochondria and activation of the executioner caspase-3. Measurements of cellular tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester fluorescence and subsequent simulation of fluorescence changes based on Nernst calculations of fluorescence in t...
