Disease relevance of Casp6

 

High impact information on Casp6

  • Furthermore, caspase-6-resistant mutant htt mice are protected against neurotoxicity induced by multiple stressors including NMDA, quinolinic acid (QA), and staurosporine [4].
  • This work provided evidence that CBP is specifically targeted by caspases and calpains at the onset of neuronal apoptosis, and CBP was futher identified as a new caspase-6 substrate [5].
  • K18 is cleaved by caspase-6 into NH2-terminal, 26-kD and COOH-terminal, 22-kD fragments; caspase-3 and -7 additionally cleave the 22-kD fragment into a 19-kD fragment [6].
  • Histologically, at this time there is apoptosis, but no excess deposition of collagen or glycogen. mRNA expression is elevated for caspase 1, caspase 6, and several enzymes associated with sterol biosynthesis and bile acid formation [7].
  • Transcriptional profiling revealed reduced levels of caspase-6 mRNA in p85beta-deficient T cells, which was paralleled by reduced caspase-6 enzyme activity [8].

Enzymatic interactions of Casp6

 

Regulatory relationships of Casp6

  • In addition, caspase-6 could be activated by the addition of either recombinant caspase-3 or caspase-9 to a lysate prepared from untreated embryos [10].
  • The caspase-6 inhibitor Z-Val-Glu(OMe)-Ile-Asp(OMe)-CH(2)F potently suppressed Akt ubiquitination, degradation, and fragment formation, whereas the proteasome inhibitor Z-Leu-Leu-Leu-CHO modestly attenuated the decline in Akt levels [23].
 

Other interactions of Casp6

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Casp6

  • Transcripts for all three executioner caspases were identified in lens fiber cells by real time RT-PCR, although only caspase-6 and -7 proteins were detected subsequently by Western blot analysis [27].
  • Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed an increased amount of caspase 6, and the active form of caspase 3, in specific regions of the DKO lens, coincident with the site of cell disintegration [28].
  • In the course of apoptosis, caspase-3-like activity increased first at 75 min, simultaneously with the appearance of TUNEL staining and prior to PARP cleavage, and then caspase-6 and 8-like activities increased at 90 and 105 min, respectively [29].
