  • Critical role for cathepsin B in mediating caspase-1-dependent interleukin-18 maturation and caspase-1-independent necrosis triggered by the microbial toxin nigericin. 12934070

    The potassium ionophore nigericin induces cell death and promotes the maturation and release of IL-1beta in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed monocytes and macrophages, the latter depending on caspase-1 activation by an unknown mechanism. Here, we investigate the pathway that triggers cell death and activates caspase-1. We show that without LPS priming, nigericin alone triggered caspase-1 activation and IL-18 generation in THP-1 monocytic cells. Simultaneously, nigericin induced caspase-1-independent necrotic cell death, which was blocked by the cathepsin B inhibitor CA-074-Me and other cathepsin inhibitors. Cathepsin B activation after nigericin treatment was determined biochemically and corroborated by rapid lysosomal leakage and translocation of cathepsin B to the cytoplasm. IL-18 maturation was prevented by both caspase-1 and cathepsin B inhibitors in THP-1 cells, primary mouse macrophages and human blood monocytes. Moreover, IL-18 generation was reduced in THP-1 cells stably transformed either with cystatin A (an endogenous cathepsin inhibitor) or antisense cathepsin B cDNA. Collectively, our study establishes a critical role for cathepsin B in nigericin-induced caspase-1-dependent IL-18 maturation and caspase-1-independent necrosis.

  • Gene expression profiling in the human hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and full-length cDNA cloning. 10931946

    The primary neuroendocrine interface, hypothalamus and pituitary, together with adrenals, constitute the major axis responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis and the response to the perturbations in the environment. The gene expression profiling in the human hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis was catalogued by generating a large amount of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), followed by bioinformatics analysis (http://www.chgc.sh.cn/ database). Totally, 25,973 sequences of good quality were obtained from 31,130 clones (83.4%) from cDNA libraries of the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. After eliminating 5,347 sequences corresponding to repetitive elements and mtDNA, 20,626 ESTs could be assembled into 9, 175 clusters (3,979, 3,074, and 4,116 clusters in hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands, respectively) when overlapping ESTs were integrated. Of these clusters, 2,777 (30.3%) corresponded to known genes, 4,165 (44.8%) to dbESTs, and 2,233 (24.3%) to novel ESTs. The gene expression profiles reflected well the functional characteristics of the three levels in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, because most of the 20 genes with highest expression showed statistical difference in terms of tissue distribution, including a group of tissue-specific functional markers. Meanwhile, some findings were made with regard to the physiology of the axis, and 200 full-length cDNAs of novel genes were cloned and sequenced. All of these data may contribute to the understanding of the neuroendocrine regulation of human life.
