Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8 [PDF]
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 ...

LncRNA29RIK in macrophages promotes LPS-mediated sensitivity to obesity
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin) -mediated signaling of caspase-4 (human) and -11 (rodent) can induce the maturation of inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and cell pyroptosis, which is associated with the pathophysiology of many diseases such as obesity ...

Introduction: We previously showed that caspase-1 and -11, which are activated by inflammasomes, mediate recovery from muscle ischemia in mice. We hypothesized that similar to murine models, inflammatory caspases modulate myogenicity and inflammation in ...

AbstractMonocytes promote the early host response to infection releasing key pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β. The biologically inactive IL-1β precursor is processed to active form by inflammasomes, multi-protein complexes activating caspase-1. Human monocytes exhibit an unconventional one-step pathway of inflammasome activation in response to

Background and AimsThe development of multi-organ injury in cirrhosis is associated with increased intestinal permeability, translocation of gut-derived bacterial products [e.g., lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] into the circulation, and increased non-apoptotic

The Drosophila DIAP1 protein is required to prevent accumulation of a continuously generated, processed form of the apical caspase DRONC [PDF]
Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (LAP) protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation is ...

Glutathione peroxidase 8 negatively regulates caspase‐4/11 to protect against colitis
Human caspase‐4 and its mouse homolog caspase‐11 are receptors for cytoplasmic lipopolysaccharide. Activation of the caspase‐4/11‐dependent NLRP3 inflammasome is required for innate defense and endotoxic shock, but how caspase‐4/11 is modulated remains ...

Caspase-8 controls the gut response to microbial challenges by Tnf-alpha-dependent and independent pathways [PDF]
Objectives: Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) express toll-like receptors (TLR) that facilitate microbial recognition. Stimulation of TLR ligands induces a transient increase in epithelial cell shedding, a mechanism that serves the antibacterial and ...
