Disease relevance of Pdcd8

  • Further, the nuclear translocation of AIF after ischemia was not blocked by inhibiting caspase-3/-7 activities, but, as shown in neuronal cultures that were challenged with transient oxygen-glucose deprivation, it can be prevented by intracellular delivery of the mitochondria-associated antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL [1].
  • Translocation of apoptosis-inducing factor in vulnerable neurons after transient cerebral ischemia and in neuronal cultures after oxygen-glucose deprivation [1].
  • Here we report for the first time involvement of AIF in neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia [2].
  • In the present study, we examined the role of AIF in ischemia-reperfusion injury in isolated rat hearts [3].
  • Intranuclear localization of AIF and large-scale DNA fragmentation occurs after TBI and in neurons under conditions of oxidative/nitrosative stress, providing the first evidence of this alternative mechanism by which programmed cell death may proceed in neurons after brain injury [4].

Associations of Pdcd8 with chemical compounds

  • When rats were treated with neuroprotective doses of cyclosporin A, but not with FK 506, the redistribution of apoptosis-inducing factor and cytochrome c was reduced and fodrin breakdown products and active caspase-3 immuno-reactivity was diminished whereas the extracellular calcium concentration was unaffected [10].
  • Neuron-enriched cultures exposed to peroxynitrite also demonstrated intranuclear AIF and large-scale DNA fragmentation concurrent with impaired mitochondrial respiration and cell death, events that are inhibited by treatment with a peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst [4].
  • The synergistic effects of an apoptosis-inducing factor, for example, the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif, can increase the radiotherapeutic efficacy of these peptides [16].
  • Using Hoechst 33342 or MTT assay, 10 muM Cd(2+) induced approximately 5-10% apoptosis in PT cells at 6 and 24 h, which was associated with cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor release at 24 h only [17].
  • To study the mechanisms downstream from mitochondria that may cause neuronal death, we investigated the effects of cyclosporin A on subcellular localization of apoptosis-inducing factor and cytochrome c, activation of the cysteine proteases calpain and caspase-3, as well as its effect on brain extracellular calcium concentrations [10].
