The effect of oxidative stress on phagocytosis and apoptosis in the earthworm Eisenia hortensis

open access: yesInvertebrate Survival Journal, 2010
The effect of exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H202) on phagocytic function and apoptosis in coelomocytes from Eisenia hortensis was investigated. Treating coelomocytes with H202 (0.26 to 8.4 mM) evoked a significant increase in phagocytosis for one or more ...

Caspase-1 activation with concomitant degradation of cullin-1/5.

open access: yes, 2021
(A)THP-1 macrophages were incubated with Eh (10:1 ratio) for increasing time (5 to 30 min) and or /with the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk (100μM) and caspase-1 specific inhibitor Z-YVAD-fmk (100μM) for 1 h followed by stimulation with Eh (10:1 ratio ...

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

Caspase-1 is a novel target of p63 in tumor suppression

open access: yes, 2013
p63 is a p53 family transcription factor, which besides unique roles in epithelial development, shares tumor suppressive activity with its homolog p53.

Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Identification of (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 compound

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We established a noninfectious BAC‐based SARS‐CoV‐2 replicon that enables antiviral screening under BSL‐2 conditions. Using this platform, we screened 373 food‐derived compounds and identified (20R)‐protopanaxadiol from Panax ginseng as a novel inhibitor of SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA replication, highlighting the value of safe replicon systems for antiviral ...

CED-3 caspase acts with miRNAs to regulate non-apoptotic gene expression dynamics for robust development in C. elegans

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Genetic redundancy and pleiotropism have limited the discovery of functions associated with miRNAs and other regulatory mechanisms. To overcome this, we performed an enhancer screen for developmental defects caused by compromising both global miRISC ...

Pyroptosis was suppressed in ZIKV-infected macrophages with pro-caspase-1 knockdown.

open access: yes, 2022
(A) Knockdown of pro-caspase-1 in THP-1 cells. Cell lysates were prepared from lentiviral vector-transduced THP-1 cell lines, expressing shRNA1, 2, or 3 targeting mRNA of pro-caspase-1, for western blot analyses with pro-caspase-1 antibody to examine the

Identification and characterisation of calcitonin receptor isoforms expressed in glioblastoma derived glioma stem and U‐87 MG cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...

Cell death machinery makes life more robust

open access: yeseLife, 2014
CED-3, a protein that is essential for programmed cell death, also has an unexpected role in the regulation of non-apoptotic genes during normal development.
