Disease relevance of CASP8

 

High impact information on CASP8

  • LPA increased phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent Akt activation, cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (cFLIP) expression, and Bad phosphorylation, resulting in inhibition of caspase-8 activation and Bad translocation to mitochondria [4].
  • Moreover, in Rho0-EC we identified activation of caspase-8 as part of the mitochondrial-independent pathway of apoptosis [5].
  • We found that anti-apoptotic proteins such as cellular (c)-FLIP, which functions as a catalytically inactive form of caspase-8, and X-chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) as well as c-IAP, which can block downstream executioner caspases, are constitutively expressed in T. parva-transformed T cells [6].
  • Incubation of BL-3 cells with a low concentration of LKT results in the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 but not caspase-8 [7].
  • The P2X antagonist oATP significantly blocked caspase-8 but not caspase-9 activation in LOS-treated endothelial cells [8].
 

Anatomical context of CASP8

 

Associations of CASP8 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of CASP8

  • Given that HSV2-R1, a specific inhibitor of the caspase-8 activation pathway, efficiently suppressed apoptosis and also prevented caspase-9 activation, the overall results indicate that the BVDV NS3/NS3Delta50 induces apoptosis initiated by caspase-8 activation and subsequent cytochrome c release-dependent caspase-9 activation [16].
