Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain protects against cell death by interfering with Bax activation.
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is associated with an extensive loss of myocardial cells. The apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is a protein that is highly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle and has been demonstrated to protect the heart against I/R injury (Gustafsson, A. B., Sayen, M. R., Williams, S. D., Crow, M. T., and Gottlieb, R. A. (2002) Circulation 106...
متن کاملApoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain contributes to chemotherapy resistance by abolishing mitochondrial fission mediated by dynamin-related protein-1.
One obstacle of cancer therapy is the development of cancer resistance to chemotherapy. The molecular mechanisms by which the resistance is developed remain to be fully understood. Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is an endogenous antiapoptotic protein. Here, we report that ARC contributes to chemotherapy resistance by abolishing mitochondrial fission mediated by dynami...
متن کاملNovel cardiac apoptotic pathway: the dephosphorylation of apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain by calcineurin.
BACKGROUND Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is abundantly expressed in cardiomyocytes. Protein kinase CK2 can phosphorylate ARC at threonine-149, thereby enabling ARC to antagonize apoptosis. ARC phosphorylation occurs in a constitutive manner. Nevertheless, cardiomyocytes still undergo apoptosis that is related to cardiac diseases such as myocardial infarction and hear...
متن کاملApoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain, a multifunctional modulator of cell death
Apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) is a highly potent and multifunctional inhibitor of apoptosis that is physiologically expressed predominantly in post-mitotic cells such as cardiomyocytes, skeletal muscle cells and neurons. ARC was also found to be up-regulated in many forms of malignant tumours. ARC impairs the cellular apoptotic responsiveness to a wide range of stres...
متن کاملTAT protein transduction into isolated perfused hearts: TAT-apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain is cardioprotective.
BACKGROUND Linkage of the 11-amino-acid transduction domain of HIV TAT to a heterologous protein allows the protein to be transduced readily into cells. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we inserted the apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) or beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) cDNA into the pTAT-hemagglutinin bacterial expression vector to produce genetic in-frame TAT-ARC or ...
