Pollak, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brookline, MA, and approved May 28, 2019 (received for review August 16, 2018) Emerging evidence has established primary nephrotic syndrome activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), which act as proximal (NS), including focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), as a sensors of ER stress. ER stress activates these sensors by inducing primary podocytopathy. Despite the underlying importance of phosphorylation and homodimerization of IRE1α and PERK/ podocyte endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the pathogenesis of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α), as well as relocalization of NS, no treatment currently targets the podocyte ER.

  • Towards Therapy for Batten Disease
    Towards therapy for Batten disease Mariana Catanho da Silva Vieira MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology University College London PhD Supervisor: Dr Sara E Mole A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London September 2014 Declaration I, Mariana Catanho da Silva Vieira, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract The gene underlying the classic neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) in humans, CLN3, encodes a polytopic membrane spanning protein of unknown function. Several studies using simpler models have been performed in order to further understand this protein and its pathological mechanism. Schizosaccharomyces pombe provides an ideal model organism for the study of CLN3 function, due to its simplicity, genetic tractability and the presence of a single orthologue of CLN3 (Btn1p), which exhibits a functional profile comparable to its human counterpart. In this study, this model was used to explore the effect of different mutations in btn1 as well as phenotypes arising from complete deletion of the gene. Different btn1 mutations have different effects on the protein function, underlining different phenotypes and affecting the levels of expression of Btn1p. So far, there is no cure for JNCL and therefore it is of great importance to identify novel lead compounds that can be developed for disease therapy. To identify these compounds, a drug screen with btn1Δ cells based on their sensitivity to cyclosporine A, was developed. Positive hits from the screen were validated and tested for their ability to rescue other specific phenotypes also associated with the loss of btn1.

Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Specificity / Sensitivity Caspase-12 Antibody detects endogenous levels of full-length caspase-12 protein (55 kDa) and its cleaved product (42 kDa). The antibody does not cross-react with other caspases. Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding amino acid 158 of mouse caspase-12. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Caspase-12 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is responsible for ER stress- induced apoptosis, such as high calcium concentration, low oxygen, and low glucose levels (1,2). One of the mechanisms for caspase-12 activation is related to calpain- mediated cleavage at T132 and K158, both of which are located at the amino-terminal region of caspase-12 (2,3). Caspase-12 also has a putative caspase cleavage site located at the carboxy-terminal region of the protein (3).

It belongs to a family of enzymes called caspases that Background Information cleave their substrates at C-terminal aspartic acid residues. It is most highly related to members of the ICE subfamily of caspases that process inflammatory cytokines. Caspase-12 is located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is responsible for ER-stress-induced apoptosis, such as high calcium concentration, low oxygen and low glucose levels. Caspase-12 Antibody detects endogenous levels of full-length caspase-12 protein (50 kDa) and its cleaved product (40-44 kDa).

TLR2 IL-6 IL-6 R MOG IL-21 R TGF-β R STAT3 Dendritic TGF-β Cell STAT3 Batf, RORγt IL-23 Batf RORγt Th17 Cell IL-23 R IL-17 JunB Batf RORγt IL-17 NO Myelin TNF-α Axon MMPs Macrophages Neuron Oligodendrocyte Prolonged production of IL-17 by Th17 cells is dependent on the transcription factor Batf. Recent studies suggest that prolonged production of IL-17 by Th17 cells is dependent on the synergistic actions of the RORt and Batf-JunB transcription factors. These fi ndings may have implications for Th17-related autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. Following induction of autoimmune conditions in mice using myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) immunization, diff erentiated Th17 cells secrete proinfl ammatory cytokines, and activated macrophages destroy myelin and damage oligodendrocytes. It remains to be determined whether the induction of Batf expression is dependent on STAT3 in Th17 cells, and whether an interaction between Batf and Irf4 or Ahr is required to promote the respective induction of IL-21 and IL-22.

  • A Genomic Analysis of Rat Proteases and Protease Inhibitors
    A genomic analysis of rat proteases and protease inhibitors Xose S. Puente and Carlos López-Otín Departamento de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular, Facultad de Medicina, Instituto Universitario de Oncología, Universidad de Oviedo, 33006-Oviedo, Spain Send correspondence to: Carlos López-Otín Departamento de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Oviedo 33006 Oviedo-SPAIN Tel. 34-985-104201; Fax: 34-985-103564 E-mail: [email protected] Proteases perform fundamental roles in multiple biological processes and are associated with a growing number of pathological conditions that involve abnormal or deficient functions of these enzymes. The availability of the rat genome sequence has opened the possibility to perform a global analysis of the complete protease repertoire or degradome of this model organism. The rat degradome consists of at least 626 proteases and homologs, which are distributed into five catalytic classes: 24 aspartic, 160 cysteine, 192 metallo, 221 serine, and 29 threonine proteases. Overall, this distribution is similar to that of the mouse degradome, but significatively more complex than that corresponding to the human degradome composed of 561 proteases and homologs. This increased complexity of the rat protease complement mainly derives from the expansion of several gene families including placental cathepsins, testases, kallikreins and hematopoietic serine proteases, involved in reproductive or immunological functions. These protease families have also evolved differently in the rat and mouse genomes and may contribute to explain some functional differences between these two closely related species. Likewise, genomic analysis of rat protease inhibitors has shown some differences with the mouse protease inhibitor complement and the marked expansion of families of cysteine and serine protease inhibitors in rat and mouse with respect to human.

  • Apoptosis in Retinal Degeneration Involves Cross-Talk Between Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF) and Caspase-12 and Is Blocked by Calpain Inhibitors
    Apoptosis in retinal degeneration involves cross-talk between apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and caspase-12 and is blocked by calpain inhibitors Daniela Sanges*, Antonella Comitato*, Roberta Tammaro*, and Valeria Marigo*†‡ *Telethon Institute of Genetics and Medicine (TIGEM), 80131 Naples, Italy; and †Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41100 Modena, Italy Edited by Jeremy Nathans, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, and approved September 21, 2006 (received for review July 24, 2006) Molecular mechanisms underlying apoptosis in retinitis pigmen- mitochondria is regulated by ␮-calpain (18) and can occur inde- tosa, as in other neurodegenerative diseases, are still elusive, and pendently from cytochrome c release (19). this fact hampers the development of a cure for this blinding In this study, we demonstrate a direct correlation of increased disease. We show that two apoptotic pathways, one from the intracellular Ca2ϩ, calpain activation, and nuclear translocation of mitochondrion and one from the endoplasmic reticulum, are co- AIF and caspase-12 in apoptotic photoreceptors. We also show that activated during the degenerative process in an animal model of AIF plays the key role in apoptosis activation. Finally, we provide retinitis pigmentosa, the rd1 mouse. We found that both AIF and evidences that treatment with calpain inhibitors is able to block caspase-12 translocate to the nucleus of dying photoreceptors in activation of AIF and caspase-12 and, consequently, apoptosis in vivo and in an in vitro cellular model. Translocation of both vitro and in vivo. apoptotic factors depends on changes in intracellular calcium homeostasis and on calpain activity.
