Abstract
Exposure to chlorpyrifos-cypermethrin combination during early development resulted in defective looping and ventricular noncompaction of heart in domestic chicken. The study was extended to elucidate the molecular basis of this novel observation. The primary culture of chicken embryonic heart cells showed a concentration-dependent loss of viability when challenged with this combination of technical-grade insecticides. Comet assay, DNA ladder assay, and analyses of appropriate markers at transcript and protein levels, revealed that chlorpyrifos-cypermethrin combination induced cell death by activating apoptosis. Parallelly, the tissues derived from control and experimental group hearts were checked for apoptotic markers, and the result was much similar to that of the in-vitro study. Further analysis showed that chlorpyrifos-cypermethrin combination deranged the expression pattern of the transcriptional regulators of cardiogenesis, namely TBX20, GATA5, HAND2, and MYOCD. This, together with heightened apoptosis, could well be the reason behind the observed structural anomalies in the heart of chlorpyrifos-cypermethrin poisoned embryos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FK506-induced apoptotic endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mediated stress protein expression was investigated in Jurkat human T-lymphocytes. METHODS The effect of FK506 on apoptosis and cell viability were examined. FK506-induced apoptosis was confirmed by nuclear fragmentation after DAPI staining. Expression of apoptotic ER-mediated stress proteins was examined by means of Western blotting of Grp78/BiP, Grp94, double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR)-like ER kinase (PERK), phosphor-PERK, CHOP/GADD153, and Bak. A flow cytometry analysis was performed after DAF-DA or DCF-DA staining. FK506-induced apoptosis was dose-dependent (10 nmol/L) and time-dependent (72 hours). RESULTS Grp78/BiP and Grp94 expressions were increased 36 hours after FK506 treatment. Increased phospho-PERK expression was observed 6 hours after FK506 treatment and peak activation of phospho-PERK was observed at 36 hours. CHOP/GADD153 expression was increased 48 hours after FK506 treatment. Expression of iNOS after FK506 treatment began to increase at 12 hours, peaked at 24 hours, and decreased after 36 hours. CONCLUSIONS From these results, we confirmed that FK506 induces apoptosis and acts dose- and time-dependently to decrease the viability of Jurkat cells through activation of apoptosis signaling and expression of apoptotic ER-mediated stress proteins.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has the ability to signal organelle dysfunction via a complex signaling network known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). In this work, hamster fibroblast cells exhibiting moderate levels of ER stress were compared to those exhibiting severe ER stress. Inhibition of N-linked glycosylation was accomplished via a temperature-sensitive mutation in the Dad1 subunit of the oligosaccharyltransferase (OST) complex or by direct inhibition with tunicamycin (Tm). Temperature shift (TS) treatment generated weak activation of ER stress signaling when compared to doses of Tm that are typically used in ER stress studies (500-1000 nM). A dose-response analysis of key ER stress signaling mediators, inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) and protein kinase R (PKR)-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), revealed 20-40 nM of Tm to generate activation intensity similar to TS treatment. In parental BHK21 cells, moderate (20-40 nM) and high doses (200-1000 nM) of Tm were compared to identify physiological and signaling-based differences in stress response. Inhibition of ER Ca2+ release via ITPR activity with 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB) or Xestospongin C (XeC) was sufficient to protect against apoptosis induced by moderate but not higher doses of Tm. Analysis of kinase activation over a range of Tm exposures revealed the p38 stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) to display increasing activation with Tm dosage. Interestingly, Tm induced the extracellular regulated kinases (Erk1/2) only at moderate doses of Tm. Inhibition of ER transmembrane stress sensors (IRE1, PERK) or cytosolic signaling mediators (p38, Jnk1, Erk1/2) was used to evaluate pathways involved in apoptosis activation during ER stress. Inhibition of either PERK or p38 was sufficient to reduce cell death and apoptosis induced by moderate, but not high, doses of Tm. During ER stress, cells exhibited a rapid decline in anti-apoptotic Mcl-1 and survivin proteins. Inhibition of PERK was sufficient to block this affect. This work reveals moderate doses of ER stress to generate patterns of stress signaling that are distinct from higher doses and that apoptosis activation at moderate levels of stress are dependent upon PERK and p38 signaling. Studies exploring ER stress signaling should recognize that this signaling acts as a rheostat rather than a simple switch, behaving distinctively in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Cypermethrin is a synthetic type II pyrethroid, derived from a natural pyrethrin of the chrysanthemum plant. Cypermethrin-mediated neurotoxicity is well studied; however, relatively less is known of its effect on astrocyte development and migration. Astrocytes are the major components of blood brain barrier (BBB), and astrocyte damage along with BBB dysfunction impair the tight junction (TJ) proteins resulting in altered cell migration and neurodegeneration. Here, we studied the mechanism of cypermethin mediated rat astrocyte damage and BBB disruption, and determined any change in expression of proteins associated with cell migration. Through MTT assay we found that cypermethrin reduced viability of cultured rat astrocytes. Immunolabelling with astrocyte marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein, revealed alteration in astrocyte morphology. The astrocytes demonstrated an enhanced release of intracellular Ca(++) and ROS, and up-regulation in p-JNK and p-P38 levels in a time-dependent manner. Cypermethrin disrupted the BBB (in vivo) in developing rats and attenuated the expression of the extracellular matrix molecule (ECM) and claudin-5 in cultured astrocytes. We further observed an augmentation in the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), known to modulate cellular migration and disrupt the developmental ECM and BBB. We observed an increase in the levels of reelin, involved in cell migration, in cultured rat astrocytes. The reelin receptor, α3β1integrin, and a mammalian cytosolic protein Disabled1 (Dab1) were also up-regulated. Overall, our study demonstrates that cypermethrin induces astrocyte injury via modulation in Ca(++), ROS, JNK and P38 pathways, which may alter MMP expression and reelin dependent astrocyte migration during brain development.

Abstract
FKBP65 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized chaperone and rotamase, with cargo proteins that include tropoelastin and collagen. In humans, mutations in FKBP65 have recently been shown to cause a form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a brittle bone disease resulting from deficient secretion of mature type I collagen. In this work, we describe the rapid proteolysis of FKBP65 in response to ER stress signals that activate the release of ER Ca(2+) stores. A large-scale screen for stress-induced cellular changes revealed FKBP65 proteins to decrease within 6-12 h of stress activation. Inhibiting IP(3)R-mediated ER Ca(2+) release blocked this response. No other ER-localized chaperone and folding mediators assessed in the study displayed this phenomenon, indicating that this rapid proteolysis of folding mediator is distinctive. Imaging and cellular fractionation confirmed the localization of FKBP65 (72 kDa glycoprotein) to the ER of untreated cells, a rapid decrease in protein levels following ER stress, and the corresponding appearance of a 30-kDa fragment in the cytosol. Inhibition of the proteasome during ER stress revealed an accumulation of FKBP65 in the cytosol, consistent with retrotranslocation and a proteasome-based proteolysis. To assess the role of Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand domains in FKBP65 stability, a recombinant FKBP65-GFP construct was engineered to ablate Ca(2+) binding at each of two EF-hand domains. Cells transfected with the wild-type construct displayed ER localization of the FKBP65-GFP protein and a proteasome-dependent proteolysis in response to ER stress. Recombinant FKBP65-GFP carrying a defect in the EF1 Ca(2+)-binding domain displayed diminished protein in the ER when compared to wild-type FKBP65-GFP. Proteasome inhibition restored mutant protein to levels similar to that of the wild-type FKBP65-GFP. A similar mutation in EF2 did not confer FKBP65 proteolysis. This work supports a model in which stress-induced changes in ER Ca(2+) stores induce the rapid proteolysis of FKBP65, a chaperone and folding mediator of collagen and tropoelastin. The destruction of this protein may identify a cellular strategy for replacement of protein folding machinery following ER stress. The implications for stress-induced changes in the handling of aggregate-prone proteins in the ER-Golgi secretory pathway are discussed. This work was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (R15GM065139) and the National Science Foundation (DBI-0452587).

Abstract
Tacrolimus (FK506) has been widely used as an immunosuppressant. We examined the effects of FK506 on expression of apoptotic signal transduction pathway proteins of Jurkat human T lymphocytes. We investigated the effects of FK506 on apoptosis, cell viability, caspase family protein activity, Western blotts of Bcl-2, Bak, Fas, Fas-L, CDK4, and cyclin D1, as well as reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial membrane potential transition. Cells were cultured in the presence or absence of FK506. Flow cytometric analysis was performed after staining with propidium iodide. Viability of Jurkat cells was decreased by the addition of FK506 in dose- and time- dependent manner. FK506-induced cytotoxicity was characterized by G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. FK506-induced cell death was confirmed by apoptosis characterized by nuclear fragmentation and caspase-3 protease activation. FK506 induced no change in catalytic activity of caspase-6, -8, and -9 proteases. No change in expression of Bcl-2 protein was noted but we confirmed increased expression of Bak protein. No changes of expressions of Fas and Fas-L were seen. Increased expressions of CDK4 and cyclin D1 were identified. In addition, pharmacological scavenging study of ROS, including H2O2, revealed that cytotoxicity was achieved by generation of ROS, which might modulate Bak protein expression and mitochondrial dysfunction. In conclusion, FK506-induced cell death was apoptotic, characterized by nuclear fragmentation and caspase-3 activation. FK506 induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest via expression of CDK4 and cyclin D1. Apoptosis was also achieved by generation of H2O2, which modulated Bak protein expression and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is crucial for proper folding of most of the proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The N-glycans in the ER are mainly constructed of mannose. In this study, we examined whether inhibition of mannose trimming in the ER affects the susceptibility of PC-12 cells to ER stress. Pretreatment with 100 microM alpha-mannosidase inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) in PC-12 cells significantly attenuated the cytotoxicity by ER stressors tunicamycin (TM), thapsigargin (TG), and amyloid beta1-42 (Abeta1-42), and reduced caspase-3 activation by TM and TG. Pretreatment with DMJ also protected primary cultured mouse cortical neurons from Abeta1-42 toxicity. With regard to the effect of DMJ pretreatment on ER stress signaling in PC-12 cells, DMJ attenuated TM- and TG-induced CHOP expression and TG stimulated JNK phosphorylation, which is associated with ER stress dependent cell death. Next, we examined the effect of mannose oligosaccharides, which have similar structures to N-glycans in the ER, on amyloidogenesis of Abeta1-42 that causes ER stress dependent neuronal cell death. Mannopentaose (M5) and Man9GlcNAc2 (M9) oligosaccharides significantly inhibited the amyloidogenesis of Abeta1-42. Our data suggests that inhibition of N-glycan processing in the ER attenuates ER stress-induced cell death by increasing high-mannose type oligosaccharides that reduce protein aggregation, such as amyloidogenesis.

Abstract
N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum is an essential protein modification and highly conserved in evolution from yeast to humans. The key step of this pathway is the transfer of the lipid-linked core oligosaccharide to the nascent polypeptide chain, catalyzed by the oligosaccharyltransferase complex. Temperature-sensitive oligosaccharyltransferase mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at the restrictive temperature, such as wbp1-1, as well as wild-type cells in the presence of the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin display typical apoptotic phenotypes like nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, phosphatidylserine translocation, caspase-like activity, and reactive oxygen species accumulation. Since deletion of the yeast metacaspase YCA1 did not abrogate this death pathway, we postulated a different proteolytic process to be responsible. Here, we show that Kex1 protease is involved in the programmed cell death caused by defective N-glycosylation. Its disruption decreases caspase-like activity, production of reactive oxygen species, and fragmentation of mitochondria and, conversely, improves growth and survival of cells. Moreover, we demonstrate that Kex1 contributes also to the active cell death program induced by acetic acid stress or during chronological aging, suggesting that Kex1 plays a more general role in cellular suicide of yeast.

Abstract
Apoptosis is associated in many cases with the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells across a wide range of organisms including lower eukaryotes such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Currently there are many unresolved questions concerning the relationship between apoptosis and the generation of ROS. These include which ROS are involved in apoptosis, what mechanisms and targets are important and whether apoptosis is triggered by ROS damage or ROS are generated as a consequence or part of the cellular disruption that occurs during cell death. Here we review the nature of the ROS involved, the damage they cause to cells, summarise the responses of S. cerevisiae to ROS and discuss those aspects in which ROS affect cell integrity that may be relevant to the apoptotic process.

Abstract
Although the function of cellular prion protein (PrPc) and the pathogenesis of prion diseases have been widely described, the mechanisms are not fully clarified. In this study, increases of the portion of non-glycosylated prion protein deposited in the hamster brains infected with scrapie strain 263K were described. To elucidate the pathological role of glycosylation profile of PrP, wild type human PrP (HuPrP) and two genetic engineering generated non-glycosylated PrP mutants (N181Q/N197Q and T183A/T199A) were transiently expressed in human astrocytoma cell line SF126. The results revealed that expressions of non-glycosylated PrP induced significantly more apoptosis cells than that of wild type PrP. It illustrated that Bcl-2 proteins might be involved in the apoptosis pathway of non-glycosylated PrPs. Our data highlights that removal of glycosylation of prion protein provokes cells apoptosis.

Abstract
Loss of trophic or activity-dependent survival signals is commonly recognized as a stimulus for neuronal apoptosis and may play a significant role in neurodegeneration. Recent data have also implicated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress as an important factor in some neurodegenerative conditions. However, whether shared or unique apoptotic cascades are activated by trophic factor withdrawal (TFW) versus ER stress in primary neurons has not previously been investigated. In primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs), the ER stressor brefeldin A activated a discrete pathway involving the following: (1) stimulation of the ER resident kinase PERK, (2) enhanced phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor eIF2alpha, and (3) increased expression and nuclear localization of the transcription factor Gadd153/CHOP. ER stress-induced CGN apoptosis was blocked by an antagonist of IP3 receptor-mediated Ca2+ release, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB), and by expression of ER-targeted Bcl-2. In contrast, CGN apoptosis elicited by TFW (i.e., removal of serum and depolarizing extracellular potassium) did not display any ER stress component nor was it blocked by either 2-APB or ER-Bcl-2. Despite these apparent differences, both brefeldin A and TFW induced dephosphorylation (activation) of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). Moreover, inhibitors of GSK-3beta (IGF-I, lithium) and caspase-9 (LEHD-fmk) significantly protected CGNs from apoptosis induced by either ER stress or TFW. These data indicate that ER stress and TFW elicit distinct signals that activate GSK-3beta and intrinsic apoptosis in neurons.

Abstract
N-glycosylation in the endoplasmic reticulum is an essential protein modification and highly conserved in evolution from yeast to man. Defects of N-glycosylation in humans lead to congenital disorders. The pivotal step of this pathway is the transfer of the evolutionarily conserved lipid-linked core-oligosaccharide to the nascent polypeptide chain, catalysed by the oligosaccharyltransferase. One of its nine subunits, Ost2, has homology to DAD1, originally characterized in hamster cells as a defender against apoptotic death. Here we show that ost mutants, such as ost2 and wbp1-1, display morphological and biochemical features of apoptosis upon induction of the glycosylation defect. We observe nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation as well as externalization of phosphatidylserine. We also demonstrate induction of caspase-like activity, both determined by flow cytometric analysis and in cell-free extracts. Similarly, the N-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin in combination with elevated temperature is able to challenge the apoptotic cascade. Heterologous expression of anti-apoptotic human Bcl-2 diminishes caspase activation, improves survival of cells and suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of wbp1-1. Furthermore, accumulation of reactive oxygen species occurs in response to defective glycosylation. As deletion of the metacaspase YCA1 does not seem to abrogate glycosylation-induced apoptosis, we postulate a different proteolytic process to be involved in this death pathway.

Abstract
The modification of proteins at asparagine residues with oligosaccharides (N-glycans) plays critical roles in diverse cell functions. N-glycans originate from a common lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor whose synthesis is initiated by the Dol-P-dependent GlcNAc-1-P transferase (GPT) encoded by an essential ALG7 gene. To identify cellular processes affected by ALG7 and N-glycosylation, we replaced the genomic copy of ALG7 with its hypomorphic allele in two genetically distinct haploid yeast cells. We show that ALG7 knockdown gave rise to an unexpected phenotype of mitochondrial dysfunction. The alg7 mutants did not grow on glycerol and DNA arrays revealed the absence of mitochondrial genes' expression. Accordingly, the alg7 mutants displayed no detectable mtDNA and respiratory activity. Both mutants exhibited diminished abundance of LLO and under-glycosylation of carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). Moreover, another N-glycosylation mutant with a LLO defect, alg6, was respiratory deficient. Collectively, our studies provide evidence that the dysregulation of N-glycosylation in haploid yeast cells leads to mitochondrial dysfunction.
