Activation of caspase-9 is required for UV-induced apoptosis of human keratinocytes.
UV radiation from the sun activates both the membrane death receptor and the intrinsic or mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathways in epidermal keratinocytes, triggering apoptosis and affording protection against skin cancer formation. We have investigated the involvement of caspase-9 in the UV death effector pathway in human keratinocytes, since this is the initiating caspase in the mitochon...
متن کاملTyrosine dephosphorylation is required for Bak activation in apoptosis.
Activation of the cell-death mediator Bak commits a cell to mitochondrial apoptosis. The initial steps that govern Bak activation are poorly understood. To further clarify these pivotal events, we have investigated whether post-translational modifications of Bak impinge on its activation potential. In this study, we report that on apoptotic stimulation Bak undergoes dephosphorylation at tyrosin...
متن کاملFunctional Myc-Max heterodimer is required for activation-induced apoptosis in T cell hybridomas
T cell hybridomas respond to activation signals by undergoing apoptotic cell death, and this is likely to represent comparable events related to tolerance induction in immature and mature T cells in vivo. Previous studies using antisense oligonucleotides implicated the c-Myc protein in the phenomenon of activation-induced apoptosis. This role for c-Myc in apoptosis is now confirmed in studies u...
متن کاملProtease activation is required for glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemic lymphocytes.
Recent work has demonstrated that glucocorticoids, nucleoside analogues, and other cancer chemotherapeutics induce apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells. In this study, we investigated the involvement of protease activation in these responses using selective peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE)/caspase family and a Ca2+-activated protease we recent...
متن کاملIs BOK required for apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress?
The B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2)-related ovarian killer (BOK) shares sequence homology with the proapoptotic BCL-2 family members BAX and BAK. However, Bok cells are not protected from classic apoptotic triggers and evidence for a proapoptotic role of BOK is derivedmostly from overexpression studies (1). BOK localizes preferentially to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, where it interacts wi...
