Abstract

Human parvovirus B19 has been found in various tissues in addition to erythroid lineage cells, and non-structural protein (NS1) is reported to induce cytotoxicity and apoptosis in erythroid lineage cells, but the mechanism in non-permissive cells is still unclear. To address this issue, we have constructed the NS1 gene in a cytomegalovirus episomal vector, pEGFP-C1 and transfected it into monkey epithelial cells, COS-7. EGFP-NS1 expression in transfected cells was monitored and assessed by fluorescence microscopy, RT-PCR and Western blot. The flow cytometric analysis showed that the NS1-transfected cells were arrested at G1 phase by paclitaxel treatment and there was increased apoptosis. The expression of p53, an important molecule in apoptosis and cell cycle regulation, and its downstream cell cycle kinase inhibitors p16(INK4) and p21(WAF1/CIP1) were up-regulated in the NS1-transfected cells. Also, increased expression of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 members Bax, Bad and activation of caspase 3 and caspase 9, but not the activation of caspase 8 or Fas were detected in the NS1-transfected cells. p53-induced Bax expression and subsequent activation of caspase 9 is probably the apoptotic pathway in NS1-transfected cells since activati...Continue Reading

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.

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
