A20 inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced apoptosis through negative Fas/Fas ligand-dependent activation of caspase-8 and mitochondrial pathways in murine RAW264.7 macrophages

Abstract

A20 was originally characterized as a TNF-inducible gene in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. As an NF-kappaB target gene, A20 is also induced in many other cell types by a wide range of stimuli. Expression of A20 has been shown to protect from TNF-induced apoptosis and also functions via a negative-feedback loop to block NF-kappaB activation induced by TNF and other stimuli. To date, there are no reports on whether A20 can protect OxLDL-induced apoptosis in macrophages. For the first time we report that A20 expression blocks OxLDL-mediated cell toxicity and apoptosis. OxLDL induced the expression of Fas and FasL, and the subsequent caspase-8 cleavage and treatment with a neutralizing ZB4 anti-Fas antibody blocked apoptosis induced by OxLDL. Expression of dominant negative FADD efficiently prevented OxLDL-induced apoptosis and caspase-8 activation. A20 expression significantly attenuated the increased expression of Fas and FasL, and Fas-mediated apoptosis. These findings suggest that A20-mediated protection from OxLDL may occur at the level of Fas/FADD-caspase-8 and be FasL dependent. Treatment of RAW264.7 cells with OxLDL induces a series of time-dependent events, including the release of cytochrome c, Smac and Omi from ...Continue Reading

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

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.
