Clustering of death receptors in lipid rafts initiates neutrophil spontaneous apoptosis.
Neutrophils die by apoptosis spontaneously within 12-24 h of their release from the bone marrow. The mechanism regulating entry of neutrophils into apoptosis at the end of their life-span is currently under debate. Our data suggest that neutrophil apoptosis involves a novel mechanism of caspase 8 activation that is indirectly regulated by accumulation of reactive oxygen species. We detected ear...
متن کاملRedox amplification of apoptosis by caspase-dependent cleavage of glutaredoxin 1 and S-glutathionylation of Fas
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase ligation of Fas (CD95), a receptor important for regulation of programmed cell death. Glutathionylation of reactive cysteines represents an oxidative modification that can be reversed by glutaredoxins (Grxs). The goal of this study was to determine whether Fas is redox regulated under physiological conditions. In this study, we demonstrate that stimulation...
متن کاملAn essential role for membrane rafts in the initiation of Fas/CD95-triggered cell death in mouse thymocytes.
Fas, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, can upon ligation by its ligand or agonistic antibodies trigger signaling cascades leading to cell death in lymphocytes and other cell types. Such signaling cascades are initiated through the formation of a membrane death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) that includes Fas, the Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and caspase-8. ...
متن کاملAvicin D, a Plant Triterpenoid, Induces Cell Apoptosis by Recruitment of Fas and Downstream Signaling Molecules into Lipid Rafts
Avicins, a family of triterpene electrophiles originally identified as potent inhibitors of tumor cell growth, have been shown to be pleiotropic compounds that also possess antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. We previously showed that Jurkat cells, which express a high level of Fas, are very sensitive to treatment with avicins. Thus, we hypothesized that avicins may i...
