Elevated caspase 3 expression correlates with severe inflammation in Crohn’s disease [PDF]
Caspase 3 is a key executioner of apoptotic cell death and contributes to intestinal epithelial homeodynamics. Apoptotic dysregulation has been implicated in Crohn’s disease, yet data on caspase 3 expression across disease activity states remain limited.

Caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression in breast cancer: caspase-3 is associated with survival [PDF]
Impaired apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Caspase-3 and -8 are key regulators of the apoptotic response and have been shown to interact with the calpain family, a group of cysteine proteases, during tumorigenesis. The current study sought to investigate the prognostic potential of caspase-3 and -8 in breast cancer, as well as the prognostic

Executioner caspase-3 and caspase-7 are functionally distinct proteases [PDF]
Members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases play central roles in coordinating the stereotypical events that occur during apoptosis. Because the major executioner caspases, caspase-3 and caspase-7, exhibit almost indistinguishable activity toward certain synthetic peptide substrates, this has led to the widespread view that these ...

Emerging roles of caspase-3 in apoptosis [PDF]
Caspases are crucial mediators of programmed cell death (apoptosis). Among them, caspase-3 is a frequently activated death protease, catalyzing the specific cleavage of many key cellular proteins. However, the specific requirements of this (or any other) caspase in apoptosis have remained largely unknown until now. Pathways to caspase-3 activation have

Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase‐3 and ‐8 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in vitro settings.

Roles of apoptosis and autophagy in natural rabies infections
The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of apoptosis and autophagy in animals (cows, horses, donkeys, dogs and cats) naturally infected with rabies by using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and qPCR.

The calpain, caspase 12, caspase 3 cascade leading to apoptosis is altered in F508del-CFTR expressing cells. [PDF]
In cystic fibrosis (CF), the most frequent mutant variant of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), F508del-CFTR protein, is misfolded and retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We previously showed that the unfolded protein

Caspase-1, but Not Caspase-3, Promotes Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]
Glomerular apoptosis may contribute to diabetic nephropathy (dNP), but the pathophysiologic relevance of this process remains obscure. Here, we administered two partially disjunct polycaspase inhibitors in 8-week-old diabetic (db/db) mice: M-920 (inhibiting caspase-1, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, and -8) and CIX (inhibiting caspase-3, -6, -7, -8, and -10 ...
