  • The Role of Caspase-2 in Regulating Cell Fate
    cells Review The Role of Caspase-2 in Regulating Cell Fate Vasanthy Vigneswara and Zubair Ahmed * Neuroscience and Ophthalmology, Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 12 May 2020; Published: 19 May 2020 Abstract: Caspase-2 is the most evolutionarily conserved member of the mammalian caspase family and has been implicated in both apoptotic and non-apoptotic signaling pathways, including tumor suppression, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. A myriad of signaling molecules is associated with the tight regulation of caspase-2 to mediate multiple cellular processes far beyond apoptotic cell death. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the literature pertaining to possible sophisticated molecular mechanisms underlying the multifaceted process of caspase-2 activation and to highlight its interplay between factors that promote or suppress apoptosis in a complicated regulatory network that determines the fate of a cell from its birth and throughout its life. Keywords: caspase-2; procaspase; apoptosis; splice variants; activation; intrinsic; extrinsic; neurons 1. Introduction Apoptosis, or programmed cell death (PCD), plays a pivotal role during embryonic development through to adulthood in multi-cellular organisms to eliminate excessive and potentially compromised cells under physiological conditions to maintain cellular homeostasis [1]. However, dysregulation of the apoptotic signaling pathway is implicated in a variety of pathological conditions. For example, excessive apoptosis can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, whilst insufficient apoptosis results in cancer and autoimmune disorders [2,3]. Apoptosis is mediated by two well-known classical signaling pathways, namely the extrinsic or death receptor-dependent pathway and the intrinsic or mitochondria-dependent pathway.

  • Caspase-2 Impacts Lung Tumorigenesis and Chemotherapy Response in Vivo
    Cell Death and Differentiation (2015) 22, 719–730 OPEN & 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 1350-9047/15 www.nature.com/cdd Caspase-2 impacts lung tumorigenesis and chemotherapy response in vivo MR Terry1, R Arya1, A Mukhopadhyay1, KC Berrett1, PM Clair1, B Witt2,3, ME Salama2,3, A Bhutkar4 and TG Oliver*,1 Caspase-2 is an atypical caspase that regulates apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and genome maintenance, although the mechanisms are not well understood. Caspase-2 has also been implicated in chemotherapy response in lung cancer, but this function has not been addressed in vivo. Here we show that Caspase-2 functions as a tumor suppressor in Kras-driven lung cancer in vivo. Loss of Caspase-2 leads to enhanced tumor proliferation and progression. Despite being more histologically advanced, Caspase-2- deficient tumors are sensitive to chemotherapy and exhibit a significant reduction in tumor volume following repeated treatment. However, Caspase-2-deficient tumors rapidly rebound from chemotherapy with enhanced proliferation, ultimately hindering long- term therapeutic benefit. In response to DNA damage, Caspase-2 cleaves and inhibits Mdm2 and thereby promotes the stability of the tumor-suppressor p53. Caspase-2 expression levels are significantly reduced in human lung tumors with wild-type p53,in agreement with the model whereby Caspase-2 functions through Mdm2/p53 regulation. Consistently, p53 target genes including p21, cyclin G1 and Msh2 are reduced in Caspase-2-deficient tumors. Finally, we show that phosphorylation of p53-induced protein with a death domain 1 leads to Caspase-2-mediated cleavage of Mdm2, directly impacting p53 levels, activity and chemotherapy response.

  • Mining Prognostic Markers of Asian Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients Based on the Apoptosis-Related Genes Junbin Yan, Jielu Cao and Zhiyun Chen*
    Yan et al. BMC Cancer (2021) 21:175 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-021-07886-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Mining prognostic markers of Asian hepatocellular carcinoma patients based on the apoptosis-related genes Junbin Yan, Jielu Cao and Zhiyun Chen* Abstract Background: Apoptosis-related genes(Args)play an essential role in the occurrence and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). However, few studies have focused on the prognostic significance of Args in HCC. In the study, we aim to explore an efficient prognostic model of Asian HCC patients based on the Args. Methods: We downloaded mRNA expression profiles and corresponding clinical data of Asian HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) databases. The Args were collected from Deathbase, a database related to cell death, combined with the research results of GeneCards、National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases and a lot of literature. We used Wilcoxon-test and univariate Cox analysis to screen the differential expressed genes (DEGs) and the prognostic related genes (PRGs) of HCC. The intersection genes of DEGs and PGGs were seen as crucial Args of HCC. The prognostic model of Asian HCC patients was constructed by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso)- proportional hazards model (Cox) regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier curve, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analysis, t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) analysis, risk score curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the HCC data of ICGC database and the data of Asian HCC patients of Kaplan-Meier plotter database were used to verify the model.

Among five families of different ethnicities identified, one homozygous missense variant, c.509G>A p.(Arg170His), was of Finnish ancestry. Here we report on the 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: phenotypic variability associated for this potential CRADD founder variant in 22 Finnish individuals. Exome sequencing was used to identify candidate genes in Finnish patients presenting with ID. Targeted Sanger sequencing and restriction enzyme analysis were applied to screen for the c.509G>A CRADD variant in cohorts from Finland. Detailed phenotyping and genealogical studies were performed. Twenty two patients were identified with the c.509G>A p.(Arg170His) homozygous variant in CRADD. The majority of the ancestors originated from Northeastern Finland indicating a founder effect.

  • Biallelic Mutations in the Death Domain of PIDD1 Impair Caspase-2 Activation and Are Associated with Intellectual Disability Taimoor I
    Sheikh et al. Translational Psychiatry (2021) 11:1 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-020-01158-w Translational Psychiatry ARTICLE Open Access Biallelic mutations in the death domain of PIDD1 impair caspase-2 activation and are associated with intellectual disability Taimoor I.

Vincent 1,2,7 Abstract PIDD1 encodes p53-Induced Death Domain protein 1, which acts as a sensor surveilling centrosome numbers and p53 activity in mammalian cells. Early results also suggest a role in DNA damage response where PIDD1 may act as a cell- fate switch, through interaction with RIP1 and NEMO/IKKg, activating NF-κB signaling for survival, or as an apoptosis- inducing protein by activating caspase-2. Biallelic truncating mutations in CRADD—the protein bridging PIDD1 and caspase-2—have been reported in intellectual disability (ID), and in a form of lissencephaly. Here, we identified five families with ID from Iran, Pakistan, and India, with four different biallelic mutations in PIDD1, all disrupting the Death Domain (DD), through which PIDD1 interacts with CRADD or RIP1. Nonsense mutations Gln863* and Arg637* directly disrupt the DD, as does a missense mutation, Arg815Trp. A homozygous splice mutation in the fifth family is predicted to disrupt splicing upstream of the DD, as confirmed using an exon trap.
