Efficient apoptosis requires feedback amplification of upstream apoptotic signals by effector caspase-3 or -7

open access: yesScience Advances, 2019
Caspase-3 and -7 are redundantly required to amplify the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic cascade in human leukemia. Apoptosis is a complex multi-step process driven by caspase-dependent proteolytic cleavage cascades. Dysregulation of apoptosis promotes

Salvianolic acid A attenuates CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR, Bcl-2/Bax and caspase-3/cleaved caspase-3 signaling pathways

open access: yesDrug Design, Development and Therapy, 2019
Background: Liver fibrosis occurs due to chronic liver disease due to multiple pathophysiological causes. The main causes for this condition are chronic alcohol abuse, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and infection due to hepatitis C virus. Currently, there

Ropivacaine promotes apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells through damaging mitochondria and activating caspase-3 activity

open access: yesBiological Research, 2019
Recent evidences indicated that some local anaesthetic agents played a role in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells; Whether ropivacaine is able to promote apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is still unclear.

The prodomain of caspase-3 regulates its own removal and caspase activation

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2019
Caspase-3 is a cysteine–aspartic acid protease that cleaves cellular targets and executes cell death. Our current understanding is caspase-3 is activated by the cleavage of the interdomain linker and then subsequent cleavage of the N-terminal prodomain ...

Reassembly of Active Caspase-3 Is Facilitated by the Propeptide [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Changes in ionic homeostasis are early events leading up to the commitment to apoptosis. Although the direct effects of cations on caspase-3 activity have been examined, comparable studies on procaspase-3 are lacking. In addition, the effects of salts on caspase structure have not been examined.

Caspase inhibition attenuates accumulation of β-amyloid by reducing β-secretase production and activity in rat brains after stroke

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2008
In this study, we tested if caspase-3 inhibition decreased ischemia-induced Aβ elevation by reducing β-secretase (BACE1) activity. Changes in caspase-3, Aβ and BACE1 levels were detected in rat striatum on different days after middle cerebral artery ...

Bcl-xL overexpression decreases GILZ levels and inhibits glucocorticoid-induced activation of caspase-8 and caspase-3 in mouse thymocytes

open access: yesJournal of Translational Autoimmunity, 2020
Glucocorticoids promote thymocyte apoptosis and modulate transcription of numerous regulators of thymic apoptosis. Among these, glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is strongly upregulated in the thymus.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.
