Caspase‐8: regulating life and death [PDF]
SummaryRoles for cell death in development, homeostasis, and the control of infections and cancer have long been recognized. Although excessive cell damage results in passive necrosis, cells can be triggered to engage molecular programs that result in cell death.

Caspase-8 RNA half-life and CpG positions on its promoter proximal region.
(A) Quantification of caspase-8 mRNA to check its half-life post transcriptional block (using Actinomycin-D) (n = 3). (B) In situ hybridization with anti-sense and sense probe of caspase-8 RNA (in vitro) [scale = 10 μm].

Hypertriglyceridemia is the main risk factor for atherosclerosis. It is reported that triglyceride (TG) induces macrophage cell death, and is involved in the formation of plaques and development of atherosclerosis.

Caspase-8 content in SNU-1 cells.
Increases in intracellular Caspase-8 compared to blank (untreated) SNU-1 cells upon treatment with 50–5000 nm sized aminated, carboxylated and NF particles for 4 h. Data compared with respect to surface functionalization (A) or particle size (B).

Persistent cell shrinkage is a major hallmark of apoptotic cell death. The early-phase shrinkage, which starts within 30−120 min after apoptotic stimulation and is called apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), is known to be accomplished by activation of K ...

FLICE Is Predominantly Expressed as Two Functionally Active Isoforms, Caspase-8/a and Caspase-8/b [PDF]
Induction of apoptosis by the cell surface receptor CD95 (APO-1/Fas) has been shown to involve activation of a family of cysteine proteases (caspases). Recently, a new member of this family has been identified, designated FLICE (caspase-8/MACH/Mch5). FLICE is part of the CD95 death-inducing signaling complex and is therefore the most upstream caspase ...

Abstract Recent studies have revealed that procaspase-8 has an important function in cell adhesion and motility. Src phosphorylation controls this function by preventing the conversion of procaspase-8, which is an adhesion/migration factor, to mature caspase-8, which is an apoptosis-inducing factor.

TNF-α contributes to sarcopenia through caspase-8/caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis
Sarcopenia has become a leading cause of disability and mortality in the elderly. It has been reported that programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with the development of sarcopenia that is characterized by reduction of muscle fiber size and number ...

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important mechanism of innate immunity against bacterial pathogens. The innate immune PCD pathway involves the molecules caspase-7 and caspase-8, among others.

Caspase‐8: not so silently deadly
Apoptosis is a caspase‐dependent programmed form of cell death, which is commonly believed to be an immunologically silent process, required for mammalian development and maintenance of cellular homoeostasis. In contrast, lytic forms of cell death, such as RIPK3‐ and MLKL‐driven necroptosis, and caspase‐1/11‐dependent pyroptosis, are postulated to be ...
