Biomechanical stress-induced apoptosis in vein grafts involves p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases.
The present study was designed to investigate whether apoptosis occurs in early-stage vein grafts and to determine the mechanisms by which mechanical stress contributes to apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Apoptosis in vessel walls of mouse vein grafts was confirmed by morphological changes and by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNE...
متن کامل"Stress-responsive" mitogen-activated protein kinases (c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases) in the myocardium.
Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Cascades: Terminology and Properties The best-characterized subfamilies of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) superfamily are the extracellularly responsive kinases (ERKs) and the two “stress-responsive” MAPK subfamilies, namely, the c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the p38-MAPKs. As yet, no single nomenclature has been determined, and the synonyms c...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2 functions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced apoptosis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a gram-negative, facultative pathogen, causes severe and often even lethal infections in immunocompromised patients, as well as cystic fibrosis patients. We show here that a variety of P. aeruginosa strains activate phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cultured epithelial cells, and fibroblasts, resulting in increased intracellular and extracellular arachidonic acid release. The use...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa Eliminates Natural Killer Cells via Phagocytosis-Induced Apoptosis
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes the relapse of illness in immunocompromised patients, leading to prolonged hospitalization, increased medical expense, and death. In this report, we show that PA invades natural killer (NK) cells and induces phagocytosis-induced cell death (PICD) of lymphocytes. In vivo tumor metastasis was augmented by PA infection, with a si...
متن کاملApoptosis induced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: a lonely killer?
Apoptosis is a fundamental biological process allowing tissue homeostasis through the regulation of cell populations by eliminating unnecessary elements. During infection, pathogens have evolved to take advantage of this process for their own and are able to induce the apoptosis of cells, i.e. immune cells by the host itself. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most studied opportunistic bacte...
