ADAM15 in Apoptosis Resistance of Synovial Fibroblasts: Converting Fas/CD95 Death Signals Into the Activation of Prosurvival Pathways by Calmodulin Recruitment

Arthritis & Rheumatology

Abstract

To investigate mechanisms underlying the capability of ADAM15 to transform FasL-mediated death-inducing signals into prosurvival activation of Src and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs). Caspase 3/7 activity and apoptosis rate were determined in RASFs and ADAM15-transfected T/C28a4 cells upon Fas/CD95 triggering using enzyme assays and annexin V staining. Phosphorylated Src and FAK were analyzed by immunoblotting. Interactions of ADAM15 and CD95 with calmodulin (CaM), Src, or FAK were analyzed by pull-downs using CaM-Sepharose and coimmunoprecipitations with specific antibodies. Protein binding assays were performed using recombinant CaM and ADAM15. Immunofluorescence was performed to investigate subcellular colocalization of ADAM15, Fas/CD95, and CaM. The antiapoptotic effect of ADAM15 in FasL-stimulated cells was demonstrated either by increased apoptosis of cells transfected with an ADAM15 construct lacking the cytoplasmic domain compared to cells transfected with full-length ADAM15 or by reduced apoptosis resistance of RASFs upon RNA interference silencing of ADAM15. Fas ligation triggered a Ca2+  release-activated Ca2+ /calcium release-activated calcium channel protein 1 (CRAC/...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

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

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.
