Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

Differential Pathogenicity of SHIV KB9 and 89.6 Env Correlates with Bystander Apoptosis Induction in CD4+ T cells

open access: yesViruses, 2019
SHIV variants KB9 and 89.6 show differential pathogenesis in primate models with KB9 causing rapid CD4 decline while 89.6 failing to induce disease.

Compartmentalized megakaryocyte death generates functional platelets committed to caspase-independent death [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Caspase-directed apoptosis usually fragments cells, releasing nonfunctional, prothrombogenic, membrane-bound apoptotic bodies marked for rapid engulfment by macrophages.

Caspase-2S relative mRNA expression levels in neurological disease.

open access: yes, 2022
(A) Caspase-2S mRNA expression levels trend lower in AD but not MCI compared to CN controls. Caspase-2S mRNA do not differ in LBD (B) or HD (C) compared to controls.

Caspase substrates [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 2006
The relatively common occurrence of sequences within proteins that match the consensus substrate specificity of caspases in intracellular proteins suggests a multitude of substrates in vivo - somewhere in the order of several hundred in humans alone. Indeed, the list of proteins that are reported to be cleaved by caspases in vitro proliferates rapidly.

Caspases and cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 2011
Evasion of apoptosis is considered to be one of the hallmarks of human cancers. This cell death modality is executed by caspases and several upstream regulatory factors, which direct their proteolytic activity, have been defined as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes.

Caspase-1 Is an Apical Caspase Leading to Caspase-3 Cleavage in the AIM2 Inflammasome Response, Independent of Caspase-8 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2018
Canonical inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that can activate both caspase-1 and caspase-8. Caspase-1 drives rapid lysis of cells by pyroptosis and maturation of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. In caspase-1-deficient cells, inflammasome formation still leads to caspase-3 activation and slower apoptotic death, dependent on caspase-8 as an apical ...

Caspase-3 activity.

open access: yes, 2019
Caspase-3 activity in the hippocampus (CA1, DG), medial amygdala (MA) and lateral amygdala (LA) of the different groups. Caspase-3 activity was lower in the B.

DECAY, a novel Drosophilacaspase related to mammalian caspase-3 and caspase-7. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Caspases are key effectors of programmed cell death in metazoans. In Drosophila, four caspases have been described so far. Here we describe the identification and characterization of the fifth Drosophila caspase, DECAY. DECAY shares a high degree of homology with the members of the mammalian caspase-3 subfamily, particularly caspase-3 and caspase-7 ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.
