摘要：

Caspase-2 is one of the most conserved caspases, yet its biological function remains a matter of controversy. In the present article we analysed mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from caspase-2 knockout mice for their sensitivity to various apoptosis inducing agents. We found that cell death induced by drugs that disrupt cytoskeleton is significantly inhibited in Casp2(-/-) MEFs. These drugs included zoledronic acid, vincristine, cytochalasin D and paclitaxel. We demonstrate that MEFs lacking Casp2 show clonogenic survival following drug treatment, whereas all Casp2(-/-) MEFs die, indicating that caspase-2 is required for apoptosis induced by cytoskeletal disruption. We further found that caspase-2 mediates apoptosis via Piddosome, Bid and Bax activation, and cytochrome c release. In the absence of caspase-2, Bid and Bax activation, and cytochrome c release are significantly delayed following drug treatment. Our data provide strong support for a context-dependent function of caspase-2 in apoptosis.
