Primary neurons undergo insult-dependent programmed cell death. We examined autophagy as a process contributing to cell death
in cortical neurons after treatment with either hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or staurosporine. Although caspase-9 activation and cleavage of procaspase-3 were significant following staurosporine treatment,
neither was observed following H2O2 treatment, indicating a non-apoptotic death. Autophagic activity increased rapidly with H2O2, but slowly with staurosporine, as quantified by processing of endogenous LC3. Autophagic induction by both stressors increased
the abundance of fluorescent puncta formed by GFP-LC3, which could be blocked by 3-methyladenine. Significantly, such inhibition
of autophagy blocked cell death induced by H2O2 but not staurosporine. Suppression of Atg7 inhibited cell death by H2O2, but not staurosporine, whereas suppression of Beclin 1 prevented cell death by both treatments, suggesting it has a complex
role regulating both apoptosis and autophagy. We conclude that autophagic mechanisms are activated in an insult-dependent
manner and that H2O2 induces autophagic cell death. 相似文献

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used to treat patients with leukaemia driven by BCR-ABL1 (ref. 1) and other oncogenic tyrosine kinases. Recent efforts have focused on developing more potent TKIs that also inhibit mutant tyrosine kinases. However, even effective TKIs typically fail to eradicate leukaemia-initiating cells (LICs), which often cause recurrence of leukaemia after initially successful treatment. Here we report the discovery of a novel mechanism of drug resistance, which is based on protective feedback signalling of leukaemia cells in response to treatment with TKI. We identify BCL6 as a central component of this drug-resistance pathway and demonstrate that targeted inhibition of BCL6 leads to eradication of drug-resistant and leukaemia-initiating subclones. 相似文献

Successful completion of cytokinesis requires the spatio-temporal regulation of protein phosphorylation and the coordinated
activity of protein kinases and phosphatases. Many mitotic protein kinases are well characterized while mitotic phosphatases
are largely unknown. Here, we show that the Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin (CaN), is required for cytokinesis in mammalian cells, functioning specifically
at the abscission stage. CaN inhibitors induce multinucleation in HeLa cells and prolong the time cells spend connected via
an extended intracellular bridge. Upon Ca2+ influx during cytokinesis, CaN is activated, targeting a set of proteins for dephosphorylation, including dynamin II (dynII).
At the intracellular bridge, phospho-dynII and CaN are co-localized to dual flanking midbody rings (FMRs) that reside on either
side of the central midbody ring. CaN activity and disassembly of the FMRs coincide with abscission. Thus, CaN activity at
the midbody plays a key role in regulating the completion of cytokinesis in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Although there has been considerable progress in the development of engineering principles for synthetic biology, a substantial challenge is the construction of robust circuits in a noisy cellular environment. Such an environment leads to considerable intercellular variability in circuit behaviour, which can hinder functionality at the colony level. Here we engineer the synchronization of thousands of oscillating colony 'biopixels' over centimetre-length scales through the use of synergistic intercellular coupling involving quorum sensing within a colony and gas-phase redox signalling between colonies. We use this platform to construct a liquid crystal display (LCD)-like macroscopic clock that can be used to sense arsenic via modulation of the oscillatory period. Given the repertoire of sensing capabilities of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, the ability to coordinate their behaviour over large length scales sets the stage for the construction of low cost genetic biosensors that are capable of detecting heavy metals and pathogens in the field. 相似文献

Hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy (HNA) is an autosomal dominant recurrent neuropathy affecting the brachial plexus. HNA is triggered by environmental factors such as infection or parturition. We report three mutations in the gene septin 9 (SEPT9) in six families with HNA linked to chromosome 17q25. HNA is the first monogenetic disease caused by mutations in a gene of the septin family. Septins are implicated in formation of the cytoskeleton, cell division and tumorigenesis. 相似文献

Genetic analyses in Caenorhabditis elegans have been instrumental in the elucidation of the central cell-death machinery, which is conserved from C. elegans to mammals. One possible difference that has emerged is the role of mitochondria. By releasing cytochrome c, mitochondria are involved in the activation of caspases in mammals. However, there has previously been no evidence that mitochondria are involved in caspase activation in C. elegans. Here we show that mitochondria fragment in cells that normally undergo programmed cell death during C. elegans development. Mitochondrial fragmentation is induced by the BH3-only protein EGL-1 and can be blocked by mutations in the bcl-2-like gene ced-9, indicating that members of the Bcl-2 family might function in the regulation of mitochondrial fragmentation in apoptotic cells. Mitochondrial fragmentation is independent of CED-4/Apaf-1 and CED-3/caspase, indicating that it occurs before or simultaneously with their activation. Furthermore, DRP-1/dynamin-related protein, a key component of the mitochondrial fission machinery, is required and sufficient to induce mitochondrial fragmentation and programmed cell death during C. elegans development. These results assign an important role to mitochondria in the cell-death pathway in C. elegans. 相似文献
