Disease relevance of Casp1

 

Psychiatry related information on Casp1

 

High impact information on Casp1

  • Recent evidence has indicated that the caspase family of cysteine proteases is a central effector in apoptotic cell death and is absolutely responsible for many of the morphological features of apoptosis [7].
  • In contrast, healthy cells require caspase activation to undergo cell death induced by surface receptors [7].
  • We also show that LeTx-induced macrophage death requires caspase-1, which is activated in susceptible, but not resistant, macrophages after intoxication, suggesting that Nalp1b directly or indirectly activates caspase-1 in response to LeTx [8].
  • These studies indicate the existence of a Cyt c- and apoptosome-independent but Apaf-1-dependent mechanism(s) for caspase activation [9].
  • As components of the apoptosome, a caspase-activating complex, cytochrome c (Cyt c) and Apaf-1 are thought to play critical roles during apoptosis [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Casp1

 

Biological context of Casp1

 

Anatomical context of Casp1

  • Caspase-cleaved gelsolin severed actin filaments in vitro in a Ca2+-independent manner [19].
  • Salmonella exploits caspase-1 to colonize Peyer's patches in a murine typhoid model [10].
  • Furthermore, Salmonella did not disseminate systemically in the majority of casp-1(-/)- mice, as demonstrated by significantly less colonization in the PP, mesenteric lymph nodes, and spleens of casp-1(-/)- mice after an oral dose of S. typhimurium that was 100-fold higher than the LD(50) [10].
  • These results show that Casp-1, which is both proapoptotic and proinflammatory, is essential for S. typhimurium to efficiently colonize the cecum and PP and subsequently cause systemic typhoid-like disease in mice [10].
  • Finally, we confirmed histologically that caspase-1(-/-) mice show decreased neutrophil infiltration, indicating that the deleterious role of IL-18 in ischemic ARF may be due to increased neutrophil infiltration [17].
 

Associations of Casp1 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Casp1

  • Focal in vivo inhibition of initiator caspase activation or microtubule-dependent transport (with Taxol) at the lesioned axon terminus results in a significant reduction in retrograde axonal caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation and inhibition of retrograde ORN death [25].
  • Caspase recruitment domain protein 6 is a microtubule-interacting protein that positively modulates NF-kappaB activation [26].
 

Enzymatic interactions of Casp1

 

Regulatory relationships of Casp1

 

Other interactions of Casp1

  • The cellular production of IL-1beta, a cytokine implicated in a variety of inflammatory diseases, requires cleavage of its precursor (proIL-1beta) at an Asp-X site by interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE, recently termed caspase-1) [36].
  • Here, we demonstrate the effect of NALP3 deficiency on caspase-1 function [2].
  • We conclude that Bcl-2 has cytoprotective functions independent of Apaf-1, preserving mitochondrial function through a caspase-independent mechanism [31].
  • In contrast, STS, UVB, and VP16 induced little or no caspase activation and apoptosis in homozygous (-/-) Apaf-1 knockout ES cells [31].
  • Impaired IL-18 processing protects caspase-1-deficient mice from ischemic acute renal failure [17].
