Processing and activation of CMH-1 by granzyme B.
Granzyme B plays an essential role in cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cell killing. Recent studies suggest that granzyme B may exert its effect by cleaving and activating CPP32, a member of the interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme/Ced-3 family of cysteine proteases. We have examined the processing and activation of CMH-1, a close homologue of CPP32, by granzyme B in vitro. We have found t...
متن کاملInteraction of perforin and granzyme B and HTLV-1 viral factors is associated with ATL development
Objective(s): Human T cell leukaemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is associated with adult T cell leukaemia (ATL), a malignant lymphoproliferative disease that infects CD4 T cells. It is not clear why the majority of HTLV-1-infected individuals remain asymptomatic carries (ACs) and a minority develop ATL. Cellular immune response has a critical role in ATL and destroys malign...
متن کاملActivation of an interleukin 1 converting enzyme-dependent apoptosis pathway by granzyme B.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can induce apoptosis through a granzyme B-based killing mechanism. Here we show that in cells undergoing apoptosis by granzyme B, both p45 pro-interleukin 1 beta converting enzyme (ICE) and pro-CPP32 are processed. Using ICE deficient (ICE -/-) mice, embryonic fibroblasts exhibit high levels of resistance to apoptosis by granzyme B or granzyme 3, while B lymphoblas...
متن کاملInitiation of Apoptosis by Granzyme B Requires Direct Cleavage of Bid, but Not Direct Granzyme B–Mediated Caspase Activation
The essential upstream steps in granzyme B-mediated apoptosis remain undefined. Herein, we show that granzyme B triggers the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through direct cleavage of Bid; however, cleavage of procaspases was stalled when mitochondrial disruption was blocked by Bcl-2. The sensitivity of granzyme B-resistant Bcl-2-overexpressing FDC-P1 cells was restored by coexpression of wild-...
متن کاملGranzyme B-Induced Neurotoxicity Is Mediated via Activation of PAR-1 Receptor and Kv1.3 Channel
Increasing evidence supports a critical role of T cells in neurodegeneration associated with acute and subacute brain inflammatory disorders. Granzyme B (GrB), released by activated T cells, is a cytotoxic proteinase which may induce perforin-independent neurotoxicity. Here, we studied the mechanism of perforin-independent GrB toxicity by treating primary cultured human neuronal cells with reco...
