MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Caspase-8 tyrosine-380 phosphorylation inhibits CD95 DISC function by preventing procaspase-8 maturation and cycling within the complex.

, 2016
Caspase-8 is a key initiator of apoptotic cell death where it functions as the apical protease in death receptor-mediated apoptosis triggered via the death-inducing signalling complex (DISC). However, the observation that caspase-8 is upregulated in many

Pharmacological Inhibition of Caspase-8 Suppresses Inflammation-Induced Angiogenesis in the Cornea

Biomolecules, 2020
Inflammation-induced angiogenesis is closely related to many diseases and has been regarded as a therapeutic target. Caspase-8 has attracted increasing attention for its immune properties and therapeutic potential in inflammatory disorders.

The Caspase-8 Dimerization/Dissociation Balance Is a Highly Potent Regulator of Caspase-8, -3, -6 Signaling* [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
Apoptosis is driven by positive feedback activation between aspartate-specific cysteinyl proteases (caspases). These feedback loops ensure the swift and efficient elimination of cells upon initiation of apoptosis execution. At the same time, the signaling network must be insensitive to erroneous, mild caspase activation to avoid unwanted, excessive ...

Function of BID - a molecule of the bcl-2 family - in ischemic cell death in the brain [PDF]

, 2002
Mitochondrial mechanisms, particularly the release of cytochrome c, play a role in the death of nerve and glial cells in cerebral ischemia. We have currently investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic molecule of the bcl-2 family and promoter of the ...

PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Acanthopagrus schlegelii FADD and caspase-8 are involved in the regulation of apoptosis and inflammation

Animal Advances
Acanthopagrus schlegelii is a farmed fish with significant economic value in China. Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and caspase-8 are related to apoptosis and inflammation; however, the specific functions of FADD and caspase-8 in A ...

THE ROLE OF INFLAMMASOME AND CASPASE-1 IN REGULATING ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO OXIDATIVE STRESS IN MOUSE HEPATOCYTES [PDF]

, 2013
In myeloid cells, oxidative stress can induce the activation of caspase-1 through canonical inflammasome signaling, which leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β/IL-18 and a potentially damaging inflammatory response.

Bid participates in genotoxic drug-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells and is essential for death receptor ligands' apoptotic and synergistic effects

, 2008
Background: The BH3-only protein Bid is an important component of death receptor-mediated caspase activation. Bid is cleaved by caspase-8 or -10 into t-Bid, which translocates to mitochondria and triggers the release of caspase-activating factors.
