Calpain Protease Function and Regulation

As a result of ischemia or hemorrhage, blood supply to neurons is disrupted which subsequently promotes a cascade of pathophysiological responses resulting in cell loss. Many mechanisms are involved solely or in combination in this disorder including excitotoxicity, mitochondrial death pathways, and the release of fre…

Dystroglycan, which serves as a major extracellular matrix receptor in muscle and the central nervous system, requires extensive O-glycosylation to function.We identified a dystroglycan missense mutation (Thr192→Met) in a woman with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and cognitive impairment.A mouse model harboring this m…

Hypoglycosylation of alpha-dystroglycan underpins a subgroup of muscular dystrophies ranging from congenital onset of weakness, severe brain malformations and death in the perinatal period to mild weakness in adulthood without brain involvement. Mutations in six genes have been identified in a proportion of patients.…

Autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD2) is a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of diseases involving at least six different loci. Five genes have already been identified: calpain-3 at LGMD2A (15q15), and four members of the sarcoglycan (SG) complex, alpha-SG at LGMD2D (17q21), beta-SG at…

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and cysteine proteases (calpain and cathepsin B) play an important role in cell death and are upregulated after focal cerebral ischemia. Because there is a significant interaction between MMP-9 with calpain and cathepsin B, we investigated the role of E64d (a ca…

Deficiency in the vasorelaxant capacity is a result of an oxidative stress in diabetic animals and seems to be an etiological factor of vascular complications of diabetes. The present study was designed to examine whether resveratrol (RSV), a polyphenolic compound which is naturally present in grape and red wine, has…

Hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) is a potent inducer of murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cell differentiation. The mechanism of action of HMBA is not known. In this study we provide evidence that protein kinase C has a role in inducer-mediated MEL cell differentiation: (i) HMBA induces the formation of a soluble, proteoly…
