Heat shock induces apoptosis independently of any known initiator caspase-activating complex.

Abstract

Adaptive responses to mild heat shock are among the most widely conserved and studied in nature. More intense heat shock, however, induces apoptosis through mechanisms that remain largely unknown. Herein, we present evidence that heat shock activates an apical protease that stimulates mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and processing of the effector caspase-3 in a benzyloxycarbonyl-VAD-fluoromethyl ketone (polycaspase inhibitor)- and Bcl-2-inhibitable manner. Surprisingly, however, neither FADD.caspase-8 nor RAIDD.caspase-2 PIDDosome (p53-induced protein with a death domain) complexes were detected in dying cells, and neither of these initiator caspases nor the endoplasmic reticulum stress-activated caspases-4/12 were required for mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization. Similarly, although cytochrome c was released from mitochondria following heat shock, functional Apaf-1.caspase-9 apoptosome complexes were not formed, and caspase-9 was not essential for the activation of caspase-3 or the induction of apoptosis. Thus, heat shock does not require any of the known initiator caspases or their activating complexes to promote apoptotic cell death but instead relies upon the activation of an apparently novel apical ...Continue Reading

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.

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
