Induction of apoptosis in cells expressing exogenous Hippi, a molecular partner of huntingtin-interacting protein Hip1
To decipher the pathway of apoptosis induction downstream to caspase-8 activation by exogenous expression of Hippi, an interactor of huntingtin-interacting protein Hip1, we studied apoptosis in HeLa and Neuro2A cells expressing GFP-tagged Hippi. Nuclear fragmentation, caspase-1, caspase-8, caspase-9...

description | To decipher the pathway of apoptosis induction downstream to caspase-8 activation by exogenous expression of Hippi, an interactor of huntingtin-interacting protein Hip1, we studied apoptosis in HeLa and Neuro2A cells expressing GFP-tagged Hippi. Nuclear fragmentation, caspase-1, caspase-8, caspase-9/caspase-6 and caspase-3 activation were increased significantly in Hippi expressing cells. Cleavage of Bid, release of cytochrome c and apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) from mitochondria were also increased in GFP–Hippi expressing cells. It was observed that caspase-1 and caspase-8 activation was earlier than caspase-3 activation and nuclear fragmentation. Expression of caspase-1, caspase-3 and caspase-7 was increased while anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and mitochondrial genes ND1 and ND4 were reduced in Hippi expressing cells. Besides, the expression SDHA and SDHB, nuclear genes, subunits of mitochondrial complex II were decreased in GFP–Hippi expressing cells. Taken together, we concluded that Hippi expression induced apoptosis by releasing AIF and cytochrome c from mitochondria, activation of caspase-1 and caspase-3, and altering the expression of apoptotic genes and genes involved in mitochondrial complex I and II. |
