Abstract

The disruption of interactions between extracellular matrix and specific cognate integrins triggers apoptosis in epithelial cells, in a process termed "anoikis." To understand anoikis, the connections between epithelial cell integrin signaling and the apoptosis-regulatory proteins are being explored. We report herein that early after detachment from matrix, epithelial cells activate Jun-N-Terminal Kinases (JNKs; alternatively known as Stress-activated Protein Kinases), which are also activated by other apoptotic stimuli. The activity of this pathway was required for anoikis. Another early response to cell suspension was the activation of the ICE-related cysteine protease, ICE/LAP3; this activation and anoikis were suppressed by the ICE-protease inhibitor, crmA. The overexpression of bcl-2 suppressed ICE/LAP3 activation as well. Surprisingly, bcl-2 and crmA attenuated the activation of JNKs following cell suspension, suggesting that the JNK pathway is regulated directly or indirectly by proteolysis. In addition, the blockage of the JNK pathway attenuated the activation of ICE/LAP3, suggesting a positive feedback loop between the ICE and JNK systems. These results indicate the following sequence of information flow in anoikis: in...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
