“…In our system, we cannot rule out the possibility that this anti-caspase 12 antibody may cross-react with another as yet unidentified caspase, however, the activation of this caspase is clearly restricted to ER stress-initiated apoptosis. Several mechanisms of caspase 12 activation have been identified, and would seem to be cell type specific (37). The present study shows that bortezomib-mediated activation of caspase 12 may be modulated by caspase 8, but is dependent on mitochondrial Ca 2+ disregulation.…”

The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (also known as PS-341/ Velcade) is a dipeptidyl boronic acid that has recently been approved for use in patients with multiple myeloma. Bortezomib inhibits the activity of the 26S proteasome and induces cell death in a variety of tumor cells; however, the mechanism of cytotoxicity is not well understood. In this report, oligonucleotide microarray analysis of the 8226 multiple myeloma cell line showed a predominant induction of gene products associated with the endoplasmic reticulum secretory pathway following short-term, high-dose exposure to bortezomib. Examination of mediators of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced cell death showed specific activation of caspase 12, as well as of caspases 8, 9, 7, and 3, and cleavage of bid. Treatment of myeloma cells with bortezomib also showed disregulation of intracellular Ca 2+ as a mechanism of caspase activation. Cotreatment with a panel of Ca 2+ -modulating agents identified the mitochondrial uniporter as a critical regulatory factor in bortezomib cytotoxicity. The uniporter inhibitors ruthenium red and Ru360 prevented caspase activation and bid cleavage, and almost entirely inhibited bortezomib-induced cell death, but had no effect on any other chemotherapeutic drug examined. Additional Ca 2+ -modulating agents, including 2-amino-ethoxydiphenylborate, 1,2-bis (o-aminophenoxy) ethane-tretraacetic acid (acetoxymethyl) ester, and dantrolene, did not alter bortezomib cytotoxicity. Analysis of intracellular Ca 2+ showed that the ruthenium-containing compounds inhibited Ca 2+ store loading and abrogated the desensitized capacitative calcium influx associated with bortezomib treatment. These data support the hypothesis that intracellular Ca 2+ disregulation is a critical determinant of bortezomib cytotoxicity. (Cancer Res 2005; 65(9): 3828-36)

High Expression Rates of Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Induce Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress–Mediated β-Cell Apoptosis, a Characteristic of Humans With Type 2 but Not Type 1 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE-Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis may be a common cause of cell attrition in diseases characterized by misfolding and oligomerisation of amyloidogenic proteins. The islet in type 2 diabetes is characterized by islet amyloid derived from islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) and increased ␤-cell apoptosis. We questioned the following: 1) whether IAPP-induced ␤-cell apoptosis is mediated by ER stress and 2) whether ␤-cells in type 2 diabetes are characterized by ER stress. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-The mechanism of IAPP-induced apoptosis was investigated in INS-1 cells and human IAPP (HIP) transgenic rats. ER stress in humans was investigated by ␤-cell C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression in 7 lean nondiabetic, 12 obese nondiabetic, and 14 obese type 2 diabetic human pancreata obtained at autopsy. To assure specificity for type 2 diabetes, we also examined pancreata from eight cases of type 1 diabetes.RESULTS-IAPP induces ␤-cell apoptosis by ER stress in INS-1 cells and HIP rats. Perinuclear CHOP was rare in lean nondiabetic (2.6 Ϯ 2.0%) and more frequent in obese nondiabetic (14.6 Ϯ 3.0%) and obese diabetic (18.5 Ϯ 3.6%) pancreata. Nuclear CHOP was not detected in lean nondiabetic and rare in obese nondiabetic (0.08 Ϯ 0.04%) but six times higher (P Ͻ 0.01) in obese diabetic (0.49 Ϯ 0.17%) pancreata. In type 1 diabetic pancreata, perinuclear CHOP was rare (2.5 Ϯ 2.3%) and nuclear CHOP not detected. B oth type 1 and type 2 diabetes are characterized by deficits in ␤-cell mass and increased ␤-cell apoptosis (1-6). The mechanism that initiates ␤-cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes is believed to be autoimmune-mediated cytokine production (5). Several mechanisms have been proposed for increased ␤-cell apoptosis in type 2 diabetes, including oxygen free radicals (7), free fatty acid toxicity (8), interleukin-1␤ (9), and formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) toxic oligomers (10 -12). CONCLUSIONS-ERProgrammed cell death, or apoptosis, is important in multicellular organisms to permit organ development and remodeling (13). In disease states, apoptosis permits selective removal of cells that are damaged, particularly in relation to cell cycle, so that damage is not propagated (3,14). Apoptosis may be initiated by a wide variety of cellular insults, which are currently thought to act through at least three pathways that converge to accomplish irreversible destruction of the cell's chromosomes. These three major pathways have been designated as the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway (15,16). The extrinsic pathway is classically exemplified by cytokine-induced cell death, mediated through cell surface death receptors (17). The intrinsic pathway is most often described as a response to mitochondrial disruption, for example, secondary to oxygen free radicals (18). ER stress-induced apoptosis is classically ascribed to aggregates of misfolded protein that are believed to compromise the ER membrane (15).The human pancreatic ␤-cell is vulnerable to al...

“…ICE cleaves pro-IL-1b to yield active cytokine; however, it does so in the absence of apoptosis induction (Black et al 1989a;Kostura et al 1989). Based on multiple reports revealing the functional roles and activation mechanisms of caspases, caspases are now divided into three functional groups: apoptosis induction (caspase-2, -3, -6, -7, -8, -9, and -10) (Guo et al 2002;Kischkel et al 2001;Parrish et al 2013), inflammatory responses (caspase-1, -4, -5, and -12) (Bian et al 2011;Black et al 1989a;Kostura et al 1989;Lamkanfi et al 2004;Sollberger et al 2012), and differentiation (caspase-14) (Denecker et al 2008) (Fig. 1).…”
