Disease relevance of CASP8

 

Psychiatry related information on CASP8

  • These radiologic findings are an optical illusion (Mach band, background contrast effect) [9].
  • This hypothesis was addressed by assessing Mach IV psychometric scale performance in a group of 51 patients with schizophrenia and in 93 controls [10].
  • Visual illusions in computed tomography: phenomena related to Mach effect [11].
  • Machiavellianism: dimensionality of the Mach IV and its relation to self-monitoring in a Spanish sample [12].
  • To estimate this association in a sample of Turkish people, 361 physicians were selected among the total number of 5,959 working in Ankara City Center. A self-administered questionnaire including the Mach IV scale and Job Satisfaction scale developed by Kasapoğlu was applied to the subjects [13].

Associations of CASP8 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of CASP8

  • In addition, MRIT simultaneously and independently interacts with BclXL and FLICE in mammalian cells [34].
  • FLICE binds to the death effector domain of FADD and upon overexpression induces apoptosis that is blocked by the ICE family inhibitors, CrmA and z-VAD-fmk [35].
  • In addition, analysis revealed that CED-4 can simultaneously interact with CED-3 and its mammalian counterparts interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE) and FLICE [36].
  • Exposure to lipopolysaccharide reduces SHP-1 activity and binding to caspase-8, caspase-8 activity, and rates of spontaneous apoptosis [37].
 

Regulatory relationships of CASP8

 

Other interactions of CASP8

  • Since the overall architecture and function of this molecule is similar to that of FLICE, it has been designated FLICE2 [45].
  • In contrast, complete methylation of HIC1 and CASP8 in a subset of primary tumours (17/44 and 14/39) occurred against a consistent background of partial methylation in the normal cerebellum [4].
  • Less frequent methylation was observed for CASP8, MGMT and TP73 (5-20%) [46].
  • However, unlike FLICE, the C-terminal domain of MRIT lacks the caspase catalytic consensus sequence QAC(R/Q)G [34].
  • Molecular ordering of the Fas-apoptotic pathway: the Fas/APO-1 protease Mch5 is a CrmA-inhibitable protease that activates multiple Ced-3/ICE-like cysteine proteases [31].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CASP8

  • Western blots showed that FLICE/caspase-8 was upregulated and activated by 24 hours of incubation with IFNgamma [47].
  • Western blots of ICE/caspase-1, which might be required for amplification of the initial FLICE activation signal, showed that pro-ICE expression significantly increased after treatment with IFNgamma for 24 hours and cleavage of pro-ICE also increased [47].
  • Flow cytometry of fresh erythroblasts revealed a considerable expression of the caspases CPP32 and FLICE in both their constitutive proenzymatic forms and in cleaved subunits [48].
  • Ceramide, in contrast to Fas ligation, did not induce activation of caspase-8/FLICE and neither SPP nor TPA were able to prevent this activation [49].
  • Silicon phthalocyanine 4 photodynamic therapy also caused a significant activation of FLICE, as evident from the appearance of cleaved products of pro-caspase 8 [50].
