Caspase-9 swings both ways in the apoptosome [PDF]
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017 For nearly 2 decades, investigators have debated whether cysteinyl-aspartate-specific protease 9 (caspase-9) is activated within the apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) apoptosome through proximity-induced homodimerization or through ...

Neurovascular injury associated non-apoptotic endothelial caspase-9 and astroglial caspase-9 mediate inflammation and contrast sensitivity decline [PDF]
Cell Death and Disease, 2022 Retinal neurovascular injuries are a leading cause of vision loss in young adults presenting unmet therapeutic needs. Neurovascular injuries damage homeostatic communication between endothelial, pericyte, glial, and neuronal cells through signaling ...

Quantification of Immunostained Caspase-9 in Retinal Tissue. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2022 The family of caspases is known to mediate many cellular pathways beyond cell death, including cell differentiation, axonal pathfinding, and proliferation. Since the identification of the family of cell death proteases, there has been a search for tools to identify and expand the function of specific family members in development, health, and disease ...

Engineering a dimeric caspase-9: a re-evaluation of the induced proximity model for caspase activation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 Caspases are responsible for the execution of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and must undergo proteolytic activation, in response to apoptotic stimuli, to function.

Caspase-9 suppresses metastatic behavior of MDA-MB-231 cells in an adaptive organoid model [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCaspase-9, a cysteine-aspartate protease traditionally associated with intrinsic apoptosis, has recently emerged as having non-apoptotic roles, including influencing cell migration—an aspect that has received limited attention in existing studies. In our
