- Аннотация: Apoptosis signaling crucially depends on caspase activities. Caspase-2 shares features of both initiator and effector caspases. Opinions are divided on whether caspase-2 activity is established during apoptosis initiation or execution in response to DNA damage, death receptor stimulation, or heat shock. So far, approaches towards measuring caspase-2 activity were restricted to analyses in cell homogenates and extracts, yielded inconsistent results, and were often limited in sensitivity, thereby contributing to controversies surrounding the role of caspase-2 during apoptosis. Furthermore, caspases overlap in substrate specificities, and caspase-8 as well as effector caspases may cleave the optimal VDVAD recognition motif as well. We therefore generated a highly sensitive Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) substrate to determine the relative contribution of these caspases to VDVADase activity non-invasively inside living cells. We observed limited proteolysis of the substrate during apoptosis initiation in response to death receptor stimulation by FasL, TNFα and TRAIL. However, this activity was attributable to caspase-8 rather than caspase-2. Likewise, no caspase-2-specific activity was detected during apoptosis initiation in response to genotoxic stress (cisplatin, 5-FU), microtubule destabilization (vincristine), or heat shock. The contribution of caspase-2 to proteolytic activities during apoptosis execution was insignificant. Since even residual, ectopically introduced caspase-2 activity could readily be detected inside living cells in our measurements, we conclude, in contrast to several previous studies, that caspase-2 activity does not contribute to apoptosis in the scenarios investigated, and that instead caspase-8 and effector caspases are the most significant VDVADases during canonical apoptosis signaling. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
