Caspase-mediated apoptosis in AK-5 tumor cells: a cell-free study using peptide inhibitors and antisense strategy.

Abstract:

:An in vitro system has been employed to study the apoptotic mechanisms in the AK-5 tumor which is a spontaneously regressing rat histiocytoma. Cytosolic extracts of tumor cells primed for apoptosis using dexamethasone and immune serum from tumor-regressing animals were able to induce apoptosis in intact nuclei and reproduce the classical morphological and biochemical features typical of apoptotic cells. The cleavage of lamin A and PARP to signature fragments by these extracts and the inhibition of the same using peptide inhibitors signify the pivotal role of ICE and ICE-related proteases in apoptosis. Lamin A cleavage was insensitive to YVAD but PARP cleavage was blocked by both YVAD and DEVD. Cell extracts derived from cells overexpressing the Bcl-2 gene and Nedd-2 antisense gene, respectively, failed to induce apoptosis in exogenously added nuclei, suggesting that Bcl-2 gene product is downregulating a key event in apoptotic cascade. The study also demonstrates the coherent action of different ICE-related proteases in apoptosis and their functional redundancy. This system may prove useful for analyzing complex molecular mechanisms underlying apoptosis in tumor cells.

  • Autophagic bulk sequestration of cytosolic cargo is independent of LC3, but requires GABARAPs.

    abstract::LC3, a mammalian homologue of yeast Atg8, is assumed to play an important part in bulk sequestration and degradation of cytoplasm (macroautophagy), and is widely used as an indicator of this process. To critically examine its role, we followed the autophagic flux of LC3 in rat hepatocytes during conditions of maximal ...
