1 9218757 Protection of NIT-1 pancreatic beta-cells from immune attack by inhibition of NF-kappaB.
2 9218757 We have recently observed that inhibition of NF-kappaB in NIT-1 insulinoma cells protects them from tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-induced cell death in vitro, possibly because expression of interleukin-1 (IL-1)beta-converting enzyme (ICE), a member of the cysteine protease pathway of cell death, is decreased.
3 9218757 In the current study we have examined the effect of the same inhibitor of NF-kappaB on class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) protein expression in NIT-1 cells and shown that inhibition of NF-kappaB activation decreased basal and TNF-induced class I MHC levels.
4 9218757 Although inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) may also be inhibited by inhibition of NF-kappaB, this could not be demonstrated in NIT-1/delta sp cells because wild-type NIT-1 cells express very little iNOS.
5 9218757 When NIT-1/delta sp12 cells, expressing high levels of the NF-kappaB inhibitor, are transplanted into immunodeficient NOD/scid mice, tumorigenesis and death by hypoglycemia proceed similarly to untransfected NIT-1 cells.
6 9218757 In conclusion, inhibition of NF-kappaB is likely to suppress several different pathways of immune-mediated cell death in beta-cells and protects NIT-1 cells from immune attack by diabetogenic T cells in vivo.
7 10690898 Interferon-gamma induces interleukin-1 converting enzyme expression in pancreatic islets by an interferon regulatory factor-1-dependent mechanism.
8 10690898 The cysteine protease interleukin (IL)-1 converting enzyme (ICE) is a key proapoptotic caspase.
9 10690898 ICE messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was highly up-regulated after 6-, 24-, and 72-h exposure of human islets to interferon (IFN)gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha + IFNgamma or IL-1beta + TNFalpha + IFNgamma, paralleled by increased iNOS (the inducible form of NO synthase) expression and NO production after exposure to the combined cytokines but not to IFNgamma or TNFalpha + IFNgamma.
10 10690898 Cytokine-induced NO-independent ICE transcription was confirmed using iNOS inhibitors.
11 10690898 Exposure of rat and mouse islets, or rat insulinoma cells, for 24 h to IFNgamma alone or in combination with the two other cytokines also resulted in a highly significant ICE mRNA expression.
12 10690898 ICE transcription was not inducible in islets from IFN regulatory factor-1 knock-out mice, suggesting a key-role of this transcription-factor in cytokine-mediated ICE expression in pancreatic islets.
13 10690898 In conclusion, cytokines and IFNgamma in particular increase ICE mRNA expression in pancreatic islet cells and beta-cell lines, independently of NO synthesis, suggesting that ICE up-regulation may be involved in cytokine-induced NO-independent apoptosis of human islets.

17 10940305 GLP-2 reduced DNA fragmentation and improved cell survival, in association with reduced activation of caspase-3 and decreased poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and reduced caspase-8 and caspase-9-like activities.
18 10940305 Both GLP-2 and forskolin reduced mitochondrial cytochrome c release and decreased the cycloheximide-induced cleavage of caspase-3 in the presence or absence of the PKA inhibitor H-89.
19 10940305 These findings provide evidence that signaling through G protein-coupled receptors of the glucagon superfamily is directly linked to regulation of apoptosis and suggest the existence of a cAMP-dependent protein kinase-, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-, and mitogen-activated protein kinase-independent pathway coupling GLP-2R signaling to caspase inhibition and cell survival.
20 11016460 NOD Idd5 locus controls insulitis and diabetes and overlaps the orthologous CTLA4/IDDM12 and NRAMP1 loci in humans.
21 11016460 This locus was designated Idd5 and encompassed candidate genes including Il1r1, Il1r2, Stat1, Stat4, Nramp1, and Bcl2.
22 11016460 Idd5.1 is in the proximal 1.5-cM portion of the interval and contains the candidates Casp8, Cflar (FLIP), Cd28, and Cd152 (CTLA4).

26 11165713 TCR stimulation protects CD8+ T cells from CD95 mediated apoptosis.
27 11165713 Activation of T cells through the T-cell receptor (TCR) induces the expression of Fas Ligand (CD95L).
28 11165713 In turn, CD95L binds to the Fas receptor (CD95) and rapidly induces apoptosis in cycling cells.
29 11165713 Here we show that a short (2 to 3 h) activation of T cells through the TCR simultaneously induces an increase in CD95L mRNA and a dramatic decrease in caspase-8 mRNA levels and proteolytic activity in human CD8(+) T cells.

57 11473025 The effect of glucose was blocked by an antagonistic anti-Fas antibody, indicating that glucose-induced apoptosis is due to interaction between the constitutively expressed FasL and the upregulated Fas.
58 11473025 Upregulation of the Fas receptor by elevated glucose levels may contribute to beta-cell destruction by the constitutively expressed FasL independent of an autoimmune reaction, thus providing a link between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

68 11976344 Caspase-8 and caspase-10 were also recruited to the DISC in TRAIL-resistant cells, but their further activation was inhibited by two antiapoptotic proteins termed cellular Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) and phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes/phosphoprotein enriched in astrocytes-15kDa (PED/PEA-15).
69 11976344 Of the three isoforms of PED/PEA-15 proteins, only the doubly phosphorylated form was expressed and recruited to the DISC in TRAIL-resistant cells, indicating that the phosphorylation status of PED/PEA-15 determines its recruitment in the cells.

75 12031968 cFLIP protein prevents tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated induction of caspase-8-dependent apoptosis in insulin-secreting betaTc-Tet cells.
76 12031968 The exact role played by interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interleukin-1beta in this pathogenic process is still only partially understood.
77 12031968 We previously reported that it was susceptible to apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha, in combination with interleukin-1beta and interferon-gamma.
78 12031968 We show that in betaTc-Tet cells, overexpression of cFLIP, the cellular FLICE (FADD-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme)-inhibitory protein, completely abolished cytokine-dependent activation of caspase-8 and protected the cells against apoptosis.
79 12031968 Furthermore, cFLIP overexpression increased the basal and interleukin-1beta-mediated transcriptional activity of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, whereas it did not change cytokine-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase gene transcription and nitric oxide secretion.
80 12031968 The presence of cFLIP prevented the weak TNF-alpha-induced reduction in cellular insulin content and secretion; however, it did not prevent the decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion induced by the combined cytokines, in agreement with our previous data demonstrating that interferon-gamma alone could induce these beta-cell dysfunctions.
81 12031968 Together, our data demonstrate that overexpression of cFLIP protects mouse beta-cells against TNF-alpha-induced caspase-8 activation and apoptosis and is correlated with enhanced NF-kappaB transcriptional activity, suggesting that cFLIP may have an impact on the outcome of death receptor-triggered responses by directing the intracellular signals from beta-cell death to beta-cell survival.

90 12031968 The exact role played by interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, and interleukin-1beta in this pathogenic process is still only partially understood.
91 12031968 We previously reported that it was susceptible to apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha, in combination with interleukin-1beta and interferon-gamma.
92 12031968 We show that in betaTc-Tet cells, overexpression of cFLIP, the cellular FLICE (FADD-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme)-inhibitory protein, completely abolished cytokine-dependent activation of caspase-8 and protected the cells against apoptosis.

96 12060768 Recently, it has been shown that the caspase-8 inhibitor FLIP may divert Fas-mediated death signals into those for cell proliferation in lymphatic cells.
97 12623123 Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis in astrocytes is prevented by the activation of P2Y6, but not P2Y4 nucleotide receptors.
98 12623123 The physiological role of the uracil nucleotide-preferring P2Y(6) and P2Y(4) receptors is still unclear, although they are widely distributed in various tissues.
99 12623123 In an effort to identify their biological functions, we found that activation by UDP of the rat P2Y(6) receptor expressed in 1321N1 human astrocytes significantly reduced cell death induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha).
100 12623123 Activation of the human P2Y(4) receptor expressed in 1321N1 cells by UTP did not elicit this protective effect, although both receptors were coupled to phospholipase C.
101 12623123 The activation of P2Y(6) receptors prevented the activation of both caspase-3 and caspase-8 resulting from TNF alpha exposure.
102 12623123 Therefore, it is suggested that P2Y(6) receptors interact rapidly with the TNF alpha-related intracellular signals to prevent apoptotic cell death.
103 12639759 Glucose-induced apoptosis was partially but significantly prevented by SNK-860, an inhibitor of calcium-dependent cysteine protease, calpain, or GSH supplementation, and completely normalized by a caspase-3 inhibitor.
104 12639759 These observations suggest that glucose-induced apoptosis in retinal pericytes, as one of the pathogenic factors of diabetic retinopathy, would be mediated through an aldose reductase-sensitive pathway including calcium-calpain cascade and increased oxidative stress, and that caspase-3 would be located furthest downstream of these apoptotic signals.
105 12706864 Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to exert potent cytotoxic activity against many tumor cells but not normal cells.
106 12706864 We found that most TRAIL-resistant and -partial resistant clones expressed low levels of DR5, whereas most TRAIL-sensitive clones expressed high levels of Death Receptor (DR5).
107 12706864 However, there were clones with a range of different TRAIL-sensitivities that had similar levels of DR5 expression.
108 12706864 The expression levels of DR4 and the decoy receptors, DcR1 and DcR2, did not correlate with TRAIL sensitivities.
109 12706864 We also compared the subgroups in terms of the expression of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), the levels of activation of Receptor Interacting Protein (RIP) and caspases, and cleavage of Poly (ADP-Ribose)Polymerase (PARP).
110 12706864 After treatment with TRAIL, both TRAIL-sensitive and partial resistant clones showed high levels of activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, RIP and PARP.
111 12706864 Relative basal level and induced level of Phosphoprotein over Expressed in Diabetes/Phosphoprotein Enriched in Astrocytes (PED/PEA-15) after TRAIL treatment were compared in the clones.
112 12706864 TRAIL did not change the PED/PEA-15 level in the clones.
113 12706864 In addition, transduction and expression of the dominant negative form of the I-kBalpha gene did not change TRAIL-sensitivities.
114 12706864 Our results showed that the expression levels of DR5, the activation levels of caspase-8, -3 and RIP were critical factors in determining TRAIL-sensitivities in Jurkat cells.
115 12706864 Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to exert potent cytotoxic activity against many tumor cells but not normal cells.
116 12706864 We found that most TRAIL-resistant and -partial resistant clones expressed low levels of DR5, whereas most TRAIL-sensitive clones expressed high levels of Death Receptor (DR5).
117 12706864 However, there were clones with a range of different TRAIL-sensitivities that had similar levels of DR5 expression.
118 12706864 The expression levels of DR4 and the decoy receptors, DcR1 and DcR2, did not correlate with TRAIL sensitivities.
119 12706864 We also compared the subgroups in terms of the expression of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), the levels of activation of Receptor Interacting Protein (RIP) and caspases, and cleavage of Poly (ADP-Ribose)Polymerase (PARP).
120 12706864 After treatment with TRAIL, both TRAIL-sensitive and partial resistant clones showed high levels of activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, RIP and PARP.
121 12706864 Relative basal level and induced level of Phosphoprotein over Expressed in Diabetes/Phosphoprotein Enriched in Astrocytes (PED/PEA-15) after TRAIL treatment were compared in the clones.
122 12706864 TRAIL did not change the PED/PEA-15 level in the clones.
123 12706864 In addition, transduction and expression of the dominant negative form of the I-kBalpha gene did not change TRAIL-sensitivities.
124 12706864 Our results showed that the expression levels of DR5, the activation levels of caspase-8, -3 and RIP were critical factors in determining TRAIL-sensitivities in Jurkat cells.
125 12753807 Moreover, both CD4(+)and CD8(+)subsets were affected.
126 12753807 Gene expression analysis using real-time RT-PCR additionally revealed low expression of Fas and FasL, the death receptor system activating caspase 8 and contributing to AICD.
127 12759879 Genetic variation in the gene for a cytosolic cysteine protease, calpain-10, increases the susceptibility to type 2 diabetes apparently by altering levels of gene expression.
128 12759879 Exposure of islets to inhibitors of other proteases, ie, cathepsin B and proteasome, did not affect insulin secretion.
129 12885274 Cellular FLIP (c-FLIP), also known as FLICE-inhibitory protein, has been identified as an inhibitor of apoptosis triggered by engagement of death receptors (DRs) such as Fas or TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand). cFLIP is recruited to DR signalling complexes, where it prevents caspase activation.
130 14532296 Furthermore, we showed that specific jnk1 antisense oligonucleotides, which suppress phospho-JNK1 expression, effectively decreased human amylin-induced activation of c-Jun.
131 14532296 Studies of the interplay between the caspase cascade and the JNK pathway showed that both apoptosis and caspase-3 activation were suppressed by treatment with a JNK inhibitor and by transfection of antisense jnk1 oligonucleotides or antisense-c-jun, whereas a selective inhibitor of caspases-1 and -3 prevented apoptosis but not c-Jun activation.
132 14532296 However, selective JNK inhibition had no effect on caspase-8 activation, and selective caspase-8 inhibition only partially suppressed apoptosis and c-Jun activation, indicating that caspase-8 may partially act upstream of the JNK pathway.
133 14532296 Fibrillogenic amylin can evoke a JNK1-mediated apoptotic pathway, which is partially dependent and partially independent of caspase-8, and in which caspase-3 acts as a common downstream effector.
134 14532296 Furthermore, we showed that specific jnk1 antisense oligonucleotides, which suppress phospho-JNK1 expression, effectively decreased human amylin-induced activation of c-Jun.
135 14532296 Studies of the interplay between the caspase cascade and the JNK pathway showed that both apoptosis and caspase-3 activation were suppressed by treatment with a JNK inhibitor and by transfection of antisense jnk1 oligonucleotides or antisense-c-jun, whereas a selective inhibitor of caspases-1 and -3 prevented apoptosis but not c-Jun activation.
136 14532296 However, selective JNK inhibition had no effect on caspase-8 activation, and selective caspase-8 inhibition only partially suppressed apoptosis and c-Jun activation, indicating that caspase-8 may partially act upstream of the JNK pathway.
137 14532296 Fibrillogenic amylin can evoke a JNK1-mediated apoptotic pathway, which is partially dependent and partially independent of caspase-8, and in which caspase-3 acts as a common downstream effector.
138 14679087 Caspase 7 is a positional candidate gene for IDDM 17 in a Bedouin Arab family.
139 14679087 Caspase 7 (CASP7), an apoptosis-related cysteine protease, is one of the few known genes in this region.
140 15163118 After Fas triggering, the generation of the active sub-units of caspase-8 is significantly reduced in T1DM T-cells restimulated via TCR/CD3 and/or CD28.
141 15246841 Caspase-3 activation was evident in the nuclear fraction of the cortex of diabetic rats after 3 days recovery and it was preceded by activation of caspase-9, but not activation of caspase-8.
142 15246841 These results suggest that a brief period of global ischemia in diabetic animals activates a neuronal cell death pathway involving cytochrome c release, caspase-9 activation, and caspase-3 cleavage, all of which are most likely initiated by early mitochondria damage.
143 15277383 Caspase-8 activity was reduced in cells cultured on matrix, whereas focal adhesion kinase (FAK), protein kinase B (PKB, or Akt), and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation was augmented.
144 15277383 Treatment (4 h) with an anti-beta1 integrin antibody, with the ERK pathway inhibitor PD98059, and/or with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002 augmented cell death on 804G matrix but not on pLL.
145 15362499 Positional cloning studies mapped T2DM susceptibility to CAPN10, the gene encoding the intracellular cysteine protease, calpain 10.
146 15362499 The presence of both calpain 10 and its mRNA have been demonstrated in tissues from several mammalian species whilst calpain 10 appears to be associated with pathways involved in glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and insulin action.
147 15590648 In vivo experiments established that CML-collagen but not unmodified collagen induced fibroblast apoptosis and that apoptosis was dependent upon caspase-3, -8, and -9 activity.
148 15590648 AGE-induced apoptosis was largely dependent on the effector caspase, caspase-3, which was activated through both cytoplasmic (caspase-8-dependent) and mitochondrial (caspase-9) pathways.
149 15703453 Anti-caspase-8 autoantibody response in silicosis patients is associated with HLA-DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1 alleles.
150 15860369 Calpain is a Ca(2+)-regulated cytosolic cysteine protease that exists mainly in two isoforms and mediates crucial cellular functions, including rearrangement of cytoskeletal proteins, transport of the glucose transporter GLUT4, and protein cleavage to activate various receptors and pro-enzymes.
151 15862312 We show here that long transcribed but untranslated CGG-repeat tracts are toxic to human cells and alter the expression of a wide variety of different genes including caspase-8, CYFIP, Neurotensin and UBE3A.
152 15976052 Caspase 8, p53, and nuclear factor kappaB were more highly activated in diabetic rat pituitaries, with caspase 8 colocalization in lactotrophs being increased.
153 16046222 The cysteine protease inhibitor cystatin-C may be involved in this phenomenon.
154 16046222 Cystatin-C was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides and several inflammatory markers such as fibrinogen (r = 0.18), C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.24), interleukin-6 (= 0.20), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) (r = 0.27) and two TNFalpha receptors: TNFR1A (r = 0.43) and TNFR1B (r = 0.41); and negatively with high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (r = -0.25).
155 16046222 Cystatin-C is not a more predictive risk marker of CHD than CRP or interleukin-6, but could be useful in detecting moderate chronic renal disease.
156 16394503 MCTF treatment activated caspase-8, -9 and -3, and led to cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and release of cytochrome c into cytosol in a concentration-dependent manner, while MCTF did not affect Bax or Bcl-2 protein levels as shown by Western blot analysis.
157 16554480 Human astrocytes are resistant to Fas ligand and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis.
158 16554480 Here, we report that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is constitutively activated in human astrocytes and protects the cells from apoptotic stimulation by Fas agonist.
159 16554480 Once stimulated, Fas recruits Fas-associated death domain and caspase-8 for the assembly of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC); however, caspase-8 cleavage is inhibited in the DISC.
160 16554480 Inhibition of CaMKII kinase activity inhibits the expression of phosphoprotein enriched astrocytes-15 kDa/phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes (PEA-15/PED) and cellular Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP), thus releasing their inhibition of caspase-8 cleavage.
161 16554480 Inhibition of PEA-15/PED or c-FLIP by small interfering RNA sensitizes human astrocytes to Fas-induced apoptosis.
162 16554480 In contrast, inhibition of CaMKII, PEA-15, or c-FLIP does not affect the sensitivity of human astrocytes to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL).
163 16554480 TRAIL death receptors (DR4, DR5) are weakly expressed at mRNA, protein, and cell surface levels and thus fail to mediate the assembly of the DISC in human astrocytes.
164 16554480 Overexpression of DR5 restores TRAIL signaling pathways and sensitizes the human astrocytes to TRAIL-induced apoptosis if CaMKII kinase activity or expression of PEA-15 and c-FLIP is inhibited; the results suggest that CaMKII-mediated pathways prevent TRAIL-induced apoptosis in human astrocytes under conditions in which TRAIL death receptors are upregulated.
165 16554480 This study has therefore identified the molecular mechanisms that protect normal human astrocytes from apoptosis induced by Fas ligand and TRAIL.

175 16857402 The first type 2 diabetes (T2D) gene to be identified in a genome wide scan followed by positional cloning was CAPN10 encoding the cysteine protease calpain-10.
176 16869889 Activation of activating transcription factor 2 by p38 MAP kinase during apoptosis induced by human amylin in cultured pancreatic beta-cells.
177 16869889 We previously reported that fibrillogenic human amylin (hA) evokes beta-cell apoptosis through linked activation of Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK 1) and a caspase cascade.
178 16869889 Here we show that p38 kinase [p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase] became activated by hA treatment of cultured beta-cells whereas extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) did not; by contrast, nonfibrillogenic rat amylin (rA) altered neither.
179 16869889 Pretreatment with the p38 kinase-inhibitor SB203580 decreased hA-induced apoptosis and caspase-3 activation by approximately 30%; as did combined SB203580 and JNK inhibitor I, by about 70%; and the combination of SB203580, the JNK inhibitor I and a caspase-8 inhibitor, by 100%.
180 16869889 These findings demonstrate the requirement for concurrent activation of the p38 kinase, JNK and caspase-8 pathways.
181 16869889 We further showed that hA elicits time-dependent activation of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF-2), which was largely suppressed by SB203580, indicating that this activation is catalyzed mainly by p38 kinase.
182 16869889 Furthermore, hA-induced apoptosis was suppressed by specific antisense ATF-2, and increased phospho-ATF-2 (p-ATF-2) was associated with increased CRE (cAMP-response element) DNA binding and CRE-mediated transcriptional activity, as well as enhancement of c-jun promoter activation.
183 16869889 These studies establish p38 MAP kinase-mediated activation of ATF-2 as a significant mechanism in hA-evoked beta-cell death, which may serve as a target for pharmaceutical intervention and effective suppression of beta-cell failure in type-2 diabetes.

192 17003335 Fas, a death receptor regulated by IL-1beta, is involved in glucose-induced beta-cell apoptosis.
193 17003335 Fas engagement can be switched from death signal to induction of proliferation when the caspase 8 inhibitor, FLICE-inhibitory protein (FLIP), is active.
194 17003335 A similarly bimodal induction of FLIP, pancreatic duodenal homeobox (PDX)-1, and Pax4 mRNA expression, as well as glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, was observed.
195 17003335 In contrast, Fas induction by IL-1beta was monophasic.
196 17003335 Low IL-1beta also induced the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), suppression of which by RNA interference abrogated the beneficial effects of low IL-1beta.
197 17003335 Consistent with our in vitro results, IL-1beta knockout mice displayed glucose intolerance along with a decrease in islet Fas, FLIP, Pax4, and PDX-1 transcripts.
198 17003335 These findings indicate that low IL-1beta levels positively influence beta-cell function and turnover through the Fas-FLIP pathway and that IL-1Ra production prevents harmful effects of high IL-1beta concentrations.
199 17064973 Advanced glycation end products stimulate osteoblast apoptosis via the MAP kinase and cytosolic apoptotic pathways.
200 17064973 CML-collagen increased p38 and JNK activity 3.2- and 4.4-fold, respectively.
201 17064973 Inhibition of p38 and JNK reduced CML-collagen stimulated apoptosis by 45% and 59% and by 90% when used together (P<0.05).
202 17064973 The predominant apoptotic pathway induced by CML-collagen involved caspase-8 activation of caspase-3 and was independent of NF-kappaB activation.
203 17065389 Cell death was significantly increased after 4 weeks, as was caspase-8 activation, although circulating levels of TNF-alpha were increased as early as 1 week.
204 17151322 Positional cloning studies mapped T2DM susceptibility to CAPN10, the gene encoding the intracellular cysteine protease, calpain 10.
205 17151322 Here we review recent studies, which in addition to the latter enzyme, have linked calpain 5, calpain 3, and its splice variants, calpain 2 and calpain 1 to T2DM-related metabolic pathways along with T2DM-associated phenotypes, such as obesity and impaired insulin secretion, and T2DM-related complications, such as epithelial dysfunction and diabetic cataract.
206 17299038 Fas is a death receptor involved in beta cell apoptosis or proliferation, depending on the activity of the caspase-8 inhibitor FLIP.
207 17299038 Expression of PDX-1, a beta cell-specific transcription factor regulating insulin gene expression and mitochondrial metabolism, was decreased in Fas-deficient beta cells.
208 17299038 This led to increased PDX-1 and insulin production independent of changes in cell turnover.
209 17299038 The results support a previously undescribed role for the Fas pathway in regulating insulin production and release.
210 17563067 We show that islets isolated from RIPcre(+)Casp8(fl/fl) mice were protected from Fas ligand (FasL)-and ceramide-induced cell death.
211 17563067 Their islets display decreased expression of molecules involved in insulin/IGF-I signaling and show decreased pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 and cAMP response element binding protein expression.
212 17563067 Our results show distinct context-specific roles of Casp8 in physiological and disease states; Casp8 is essential for beta-cell apoptosis in type 1 and type 2 diabetes models and in regulating beta-cell mass and insulin secretion under physiological conditions.
213 17563067 We show that islets isolated from RIPcre(+)Casp8(fl/fl) mice were protected from Fas ligand (FasL)-and ceramide-induced cell death.
214 17563067 Their islets display decreased expression of molecules involved in insulin/IGF-I signaling and show decreased pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1 and cAMP response element binding protein expression.

216 17869649 The CTSL2 gene encodes the cysteine protease cathepsin V involved in antigen presentation in human cortical thymic epithelial cells, and involvement of the protease in autoimmunity has been suggested.
217 18619973 As we have recently shown, expression and activity of the matrix degrading cysteine protease cathepsin L in EPC is required for tissue invasion and EPC-mediated improvement of neovascularization.
218 18619973 In contrast, other proteases of the cathepsin family such as cathepsins D and O, and the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 were not altered with high glucose.
219 19194987 Inhibition of caspase-8 activity also reduced hyperglycemia-induced Bid activation and caspase-9 cleavage.
220 19194987 These data suggest that caspase-8 may control diabetic embryopathy-associated apoptosis via regulation of the Bid-stimulated mitochondrion/caspase-9 pathway.
221 19194987 Inhibition of caspase-8 activity also reduced hyperglycemia-induced Bid activation and caspase-9 cleavage.
222 19194987 These data suggest that caspase-8 may control diabetic embryopathy-associated apoptosis via regulation of the Bid-stimulated mitochondrion/caspase-9 pathway.
223 19297292 Calpaïn 10 (CAPN10) is the first diabetes gene to be identified through a genome scan followed by positional cloning, encoding the cysteine protease, the calpaïn 10 encodes for a ubiquitously expressed protease implicated in the two fundamental pathophysiological aspects of T2DM insulinoresistance and insulinosecretion.
224 19432816 DR5-mediated DISC controls caspase-8 cleavage and initiation of apoptosis in human glioblastomas.
225 19432816 TRAIL has four membrane-anchored receptors, death receptor 4/5 (DR4/5) and decoy receptor 1/2 (DcR1/2).
226 19432816 Of these receptors, only DR5 was expressed consistently in glioblastoma cell lines and tumour tissues, ruling out the role of DcR1/2 in TRAIL resistance.
227 19432816 Upon TRAIL binding, DR5 was homotrimerized and recruited Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and caspase-8 for the assembly of death-inducing signalling complex (DISC) in the lipid rafts of the plasma membrane.
228 19432816 In the DISC, caspase-8 was cleaved and initiated apoptosis by cleaving downstream caspases in TRAIL-sensitive glioblastoma cells.
229 19432816 In TRAIL-resistant cells, however, DR5-mediated DISC was modified by receptor-interacting protein (RIP), cellular FADD-like interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) and phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes or in astrocyte-15 (PED/PEA-15).
230 19432816 This DISC modification occurred in the non-raft fractions of the plasma membrane and resulted in the inhibition of caspase-8 cleavage and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB).
231 19432816 Treatment of resistant cells with parthenolide, an inhibitor of inhibitor of kappaB (I-kappaB), eliminated TRAIL-induced NF-kappaB activity but not TRAIL resistance.
232 19432816 In contrast, however, targeting of RIP, c-FLIP or PED/PEA-15 with small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to the redistribution of the DISC from non-rafts to lipid rafts and eliminated the inhibition of caspase-8 cleavage and thereby TRAIL resistance.
233 19432816 Taken together, this study indicates that the DISC modification by RIP, c-FLIP and PED/PEA-15 is the most upstream event in TRAIL resistance in glioblastomas.

274 19467786 We previously reported that high glucose can induce apoptosis in PC12 cells, as evidenced by DNA fragmentation and high Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
275 19467786 The present study examined the involvement of caspase-3, the executioner, and two initiators of apoptosis, caspase-8 and caspase-9, during high glucose-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells, a neuronal cell line.
276 19540304 Ghrelin did not modify body weight or serum glucose, leptin or adiponectin, but increased total ghrelin (P<0.05), IGF-I (P<0.01) and prolactin (P<0.01) levels.

329 21719578 To this end, we examined the role of cytochrome c in pancreatic β-cells under homeostatic conditions and in diabetes models, including those induced by streptozotocin (STZ) and c-Myc.

437 23474487 In addition, proapoptotic (FasL, Bid, and activation of caspase-8 and caspase-3) and survival signaling pathways (BclxL) were examined.
438 23499715 Deletion of Fgf21 gene does not affect testicular cell proliferation, but significantly increases the spontaneous incidence of testicular TUNEL positive cells with increases in the Bax/Bcl2 expression ratio and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) expression.
439 23499715 Diabetes induced significant increases in testicular TUNEL positive cells, Bax/Bcl2 expression ratio, AIF expression, CHOP and cleaved caspase-12 expression, and oxidative damage, but did not change the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-8.
440 23499715 Deletion of Fgf21 gene also significantly enhances diabetes-induced TUNEL positive cells along with the increased expression of Bax/Bcl2 ratio, AIF, CHOP, cleaved caspase-12, and oxidative damage, which was significantly prevented by the supplementation of exogenous FGF21.
441 23566555 Regulation of oxidative stress and somatostatin, cholecystokinin, apelin gene expressions by ghrelin in stomach of newborn diabetic rats.
442 23566555 The gene expressions of: somatostatin, cholecystokinin, apelin and the altered active caspase-3, active caspase-8, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, were investigated in the pyloric region of the stomach and antioxidant parameters were measured in all the stomach.
443 23566555 Exogenous ghrelin caused an increased activities of stomach catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase in diabetic rats.
444 23566555 Numbers of somatostatin, cholecystokinin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunoreactive cells decreased in the diabetic+ghrelin group compared to the diabetic group.
445 23566555 Apelin mRNA expressions were remarkably less in the diabetic+ghrelin rats than in diabetic rats.
446 23670348 Pancreatic β-cell apoptotic numbers and the expression of caspase-8, -9, -3 in islet increased in diabetic mice, which was reversed by elevated adiponectin in plenti-acdc-EGFP-treated mice.
447 23689355 Caspase-1 is a member of the intracellular cysteine protease family that mediates inflammation through the activation of the cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18).
448 23689355 As mice lacking IL-18 become obese and insulin resistant, and both IL-18 and IL-1β have a role in overall energy balance, we sought to determine whether caspase-1 deficiency also causes obesity.
449 23689355 Caspase-1-/- mice maintained lower but detectable levels of IL-18 compared with WT mice.
450 23689355 Overall, this study suggests that the lower level of IL-18 in caspase-1-/- mice might be causing obesity development similarly to IL-18-deficient mice.
