Apoptosis-inducing factor is involved in the regulation of caspase-independent neuronal cell death
Caspase-independent death mechanisms have been shown to execute apoptosis in many types of neuronal injury. P53 has been identified as a key regulator of neuronal cell death after acute injury such as DNA damage, ischemia, and excitotoxicity. Here, we demonstrate that p53 can induce neuronal cell death via a caspase-mediated process activated by apoptotic activating factor-1 (Apaf1) and via a d...
متن کاملMitochondrial-to-nuclear translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor in cardiac myocytes during oxidant stress: potential role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1.
OBJECTIVE Oxidant stress-induced activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays a role in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. We have now investigated the role of PARP in the death of cardiac myocytes in response to oxidant stress induced by hydrogen peroxide, with focus on the mitochondrial function. METHODS AND RESULTS Using wild-type and PARP-1-deficient murine myo...
متن کاملSequential activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1, calpains, and Bax is essential in apoptosis-inducing factor-mediated programmed necrosis.
Alkylating DNA damage induces a necrotic type of programmed cell death through the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF). Following PARP activation, AIF is released from mitochondria and translocates to the nucleus, where it causes chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation. By employing a large panel of gene knockout cells, we identified and describe here tw...
متن کاملFAS-associated factor-1 positively regulates type I interferon response to RNA virus infection by targeting NLRX1
FAS-associated factor-1 (FAF1) is a component of the death-inducing signaling complex involved in Fas-mediated apoptosis. It regulates NF-κB activity, ubiquitination, and proteasomal degradation. Here, we found that FAF1 positively regulates the type I interferon pathway. FAF1gt/gt mice, which deficient in FAF1, and FAF1 knockdown immune cells were highly susceptible to RNA virus infection and ...
متن کاملBax is a transcriptional target and mediator of c-myc-induced apoptosis.
The c-Myc oncoprotein is a transcription factor involved in cellular transformation as well as apoptotic cell death. We show here that over-expression of c-Myc delivered by an adenovirus vector up-regulates endogenous proapoptotic bax mRNA and protein expression in human cells. In contrast, the cytotoxic tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand induces cell death without up-regul...
