Germinal Center B Cell Apoptosis Requires Both Caspase and Cathepsin Activity Marco van Eijk and Cornelis de Groot1 Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) select B cells during germinal center (GC) reactions. The B cells that are able to bind to the FDCs receive a signal that leads to the termination of endonuclease activity in the nuclei of those B cells. This signal must be in addition to the signals transferred through the cross-linkage of the B cell receptors and signals resulting from the interactions of the adhesion molecules lymphocyte function-associated Ag-1 and very late Ag-4 with ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, respectively. In this report, we present evidence that the FDCs silence all apoptotic processes in GC B lymphocytes and additionally switch off pre-present endonuclease activity. We also show that GC B cell apoptosis requires cathepsin activity downstream of caspase-3. This cathepsin activity is directly connected to endonuclease activity and therefore may be an interesting target for the antiapop- totic factors produced by FDCs.

During a GC reaction, B (now called caspases) (14–16) forms an important cascade that http://www.jimmunol.org/ cells are selected and their Ag specificity is checked at different links triggering signals such as Fas ligation to the final activation levels (4). Antiapoptotic signals provided by follicular dendritic of DNA fragmentation (17–19). This cascade is highly redundant; cells (FDCs) are crucial in this selection process. Native Ags are however, in general, the activation of various members of the presented to GC B cells in the immune complexes present on caspase family may lead to the activation of caspase-3, resulting in FDCs, allowing B lymphocytes with high affinity BCRs to bind. cleavage of various substrates that are crucial in the execution As a result of this highly competitive binding, the programmed cell phase of apoptosis.

While it has been demonstrated that the p53 protein can directly induce the leakage of cathepsin proteases from the lysosome, directly triggering cell death, little is known about what factors set the threshold at which the lysosome can become permeabilized. It appears that the expression levels of cathepsin proteases may be central to this process, with some of them being transcriptionally regulated by p53.

  • 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.

As a corollary, inhibition of mitochondrial complex I (CI) and complex II (CII) by toxins 1‑methyl‑4‑phenylpyridinium (MPP+) and 3‑nitropropionic acid (3‑NPA) respectively, induced degenerative changes noted in such neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed to unravel the down‑stream pathways associated with CII inhibition and compared with CI inhibition and the Manganese (Mn) neurotoxicity. Genome‑wide transcriptomics of N27 neuronal cells exposed to 3‑NPA, compared with MPP+ and Mn revealed varied transcriptomic profle. Along with mitochondrial and synaptic pathways, Autophagy was the predominant pathway diferentially regulated in the 3‑NPA model with implications for neuronal survival. This pathway was unique to 3‑NPA, as substantiated by in silico modelling of the three toxins. Morphological and biochemical validation of autophagy markers in the cell model of 3‑NPA revealed incomplete autophagy mediated by mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 2 (mTORC2) pathway.

  • Cysteine Cathepsin Proteases: Regulators of Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Response
    REVIEWS Cysteine cathepsin proteases: regulators of cancer progression and therapeutic response Oakley C. Olson1,2 and Johanna A. Joyce1,3,4 Abstract | Cysteine cathepsin protease activity is frequently dysregulated in the context of neoplastic transformation. Increased activity and aberrant localization of proteases within the tumour microenvironment have a potent role in driving cancer progression, proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Recent studies have also uncovered functions for cathepsins in the suppression of the response to therapeutic intervention in various malignancies. However, cathepsins can be either tumour promoting or tumour suppressive depending on the context, which emphasizes the importance of rigorous in vivo analyses to ascertain function. Here, we review the basic research and clinical findings that underlie the roles of cathepsins in cancer, and provide a roadmap for the rational integration of cathepsin-targeting agents into clinical treatment.

Kornfeld, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, and approved November 25, 2008 (received for review August 19, 2008) Three forms of cell death have been described: apoptosis, autophagic cells that are deprived of the apoptotic gateway to mediate cyto- cell death, and necrosis. Although genetic and biochemical studies chrome c release for caspase activation (Fig. S1) (9–11, 19, 20). have formulated a detailed blueprint concerning the apoptotic net- Despite the lack of caspase activation (20), DKO cells eventually work, necrosis is generally perceived as a passive cellular demise succumb to various death signals manifesting a much slower death resulted from unmanageable physical damages. Here, we conclude an kinetics compared with wild-type cells (Fig. 1A, Fig. S2, and data active de novo genetic program underlying DNA damage-induced not shown). To investigate the mechanism(s) underlying BAX/ necrosis, thus assigning necrotic cell death as a form of ‘‘programmed BAK-independent cell death, we first examined the morphological cell death.’’ Cells deficient of the essential mitochondrial apoptotic features of the dying DKO cells. Electron microscopy uncovered effectors, BAX and BAK, ultimately succumbed to DNA damage, signature characteristics of necrosis in DKO cells after DNA exhibiting signature necrotic characteristics.
