Abstract

The Src family kinases are a family of intracellular, non-receptor tyrosine kinases that are involved in a variety of cellular functions including the regulation of inflammation and apoptosis after brain hypoxia. Caspase-1 (C1) activates IL-1β through the formation of complex structures, the inflammasomes, while caspase-8 (C8) is part of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. C8 has been found to directly activate the production of IL-1β. Previously, we observed that C1 and IL-1β are increased in the acute phase after hypoxia in the brain of piglets, but they follow a different pattern long term, with C1 remaining activated throughout the period of observation, while IL-1β returning to baseline at 15 days. Src kinase inhibition ameliorated the activation of C1 and IL-1β early, but did not appear to have any effect long term. Prompted by these findings, we assessed the changes that occur over time (1 h and 15 days) in C1 and C8 activities after brain hypoxia as well as the effect of pretreatment with a Src kinase inhibitor, PP2 on these biochemical markers. Enzymatic activities were determined by spectrophotometry with measurements of C1 and C8 in each cytosolic brain sample (N = 4 in each group). We found that C1 and C8 activities in...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
