doi: 10.1681/ASN.2016070744

Figure Legend Snippet: MIOX gene disruption inhibits, whereas its overexpression accentuates, renal tubular cell apoptosis. Expression of proapoptogenic Bax was increased after cisplatin treatment in kidney tubules of WT mice (D versus A, and M). It was highly accentuated in MIOX-TG mice (E versus B, and M). No increase was observed in MIOX-KO mice (F versus C, and M). Intriguingly, at times a mild decrease in BAX expression was noted in KO mice (M), whereas antiapoptogenic Bcl-2 expression drastically decreased in both the WT and MIOX-TG mice, and it was unchanged in KO mice (M). An increased expression of cleaved caspase-3 was observed in kidneys of WT mice after cisplatin treatment (M), which was accentuated in MIOX-TG mice. No expression of cleaved caspase-3 was observed in treated or untreated MIOX-KO mice (M). After cisplatin treatment, a marked increase in caspase-3 activity was observed in MIOX-TG mice, whereas a moderate increase was also observed in WT mice (N). No significant increase in caspase-3 was observed in kidneys of KO mice. Along these lines, a fulminant degree of apoptosis was observed in kidneys of MIOX-TG mice (K versus H), although a mild-to-moderate degree of apoptosis was also observed in WT mice (J versus G), and no apoptosis was detected in MIOX-KO mice (I and L).

Techniques Used: Expressing, Activity Assay, Immunofluorescence, Staining

Figure Legend Snippet: Y-27632 suppresses caspase-3 in response to inducers of extrinsic or intrinsic apoptosis Primary keratinocytes were established and unexposed or exposed to Y-27632 for 24 h, then treated with α-Fas agonist Ab ( A ), TNFα ( B ), etoposide ( C ), or camptothecin ( D ) for an additional 24 h. Cytosolic extracts were derived and subjected to fluorometric caspase-3 activity assays using fluorescent tetrapeptide substrate specific for caspases-3 as described in Materials and Methods. Free AMC, generated as a result of cleavage of the aspartate-AMC bond, was monitored over 30 min. Emission at 460nm from each sample was plotted against time, and linear regression analysis was used to determine the initial velocity (slope) for each curve, which yielded the activity ( E ). Inhibitor of caspase-3 (Z-DEVD-CHO) (BioMol, Plymouth Meeting, PA) was added to cell extracts at a concentration of 50 μM, 10 min prior to addition of the Ac-DEVD-AMC as a control.
