lüll Signaling by IL-1beta+IFN-gamma and ER stress converge on DP5/Hrk activation: a novel mechanism for pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis Gurzov EN; Ortis F; Cunha DA; Gosset G; Li M; Cardozo AK; Eizirik DLCell Death Differ 2009[Nov]; 16 (11): 1539-50Chronic inflammation and pro-inflammatory cytokines are important mediators of pancreatic beta-cell destruction in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We presently show that the cytokines IL-1beta+IFN-gamma and different ER stressors activate the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only member death protein 5 (DP5)/harakiri (Hrk) resulting in beta-cell apoptosis. Chemical ER stress-induced DP5 upregulation is JNK/c-Jun-dependent. DP5 activation by cytokines also involves JNK/c-Jun phosphorylation and is antagonized by JunB. Interestingly, cytokine-inducted DP5 expression precedes ER stress: mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and ER stress are actually a consequence of enhanced DP5 activation by cytokine-mediated nitric oxide formation. Our findings show that DP5 is central for beta-cell apoptosis after different stimuli, and that it can act up- and downstream of ER stress. These observations contribute to solve two important questions, namely the mechanism by which IL-1beta+IFN-gamma induce beta-cell death and the nature of the downstream signals by which ER stress 'convinces' beta-cells to trigger apoptosis.|*Apoptosis[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins/*metabolism[MESH]|Cytochromes c/metabolism[MESH]|Endoplasmic Reticulum/*metabolism[MESH]|Insulin-Secreting Cells/*cytology/metabolism[MESH]|Interferon-gamma/*pharmacology[MESH]|Interleukin-1beta/*pharmacology[MESH]|JNK Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases/metabolism[MESH]|Neuropeptides/*metabolism[MESH]|RNA, Small Interfering/metabolism[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Rats, Wistar[MESH]|Signal Transduction[MESH]|Up-Regulation[MESH] |
