Regulation of endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II release by apoptosis

Abstract: Endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II (EMAP II) is a proinf lammatory cytokine and a chemoattractant for monocytes. We show here that, in the mouse embryo, EMAP II mRNA was most abundant at sites of tissue remodeling where many apoptotic cells could be detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP end labeling. Removal of dead cells is known to require macrophages, and these were found to colocalize with areas of EMAP II mRNA expression and programmed cell death. In cultured cells, po… Show more

“…Both require proteolytic processing to gain their chemotactic properties. 53 While EMAPII requires processing from the pro-EMAPII form, most likely through caspase 7 cleavage, 54 TyrRS cleavage is thought to occur by neutrophil-released elastase. 55 Of note, the C-terminal cleavage product of TyrRS shares homology (49%) with EMAPII.…”

“…57 EMAPII and TyrRS release likely occur relatively late in the apoptotic process, suggesting that they may be released during secondary necrosis of these cells. 53,54 Last, although authors were able to show that apoptotic cells secreted EMAPII and TyrRS and that these could in turn mediate chemotaxis, these studies lacked direct evidence proving that they are the chemotactic component in apoptotic cell supernatants.…”

“…17,18 Until now, only endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II (EMAP II) has been identified as an apoptotic cell-derived molecule with proinflammatory and chemotactic properties. 19 EMAP II is generated via cleavage by caspase-7 of the p43 subunit of the tRNA synthetase complex. 20 Here we report that caspases-3 and -7, involved in the execution of anti-Fas-induced apoptosis, are released in the cell culture supernatant during secondary necrosis.…”

“…The precursor of endothelial monocyte-activating polypeptide II is associated with the N-terminal noncatalytic extension of arginyl-tRNA synthetase and enhances aminoacylation activity (20). Like human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, the cytokine domain of this precursor is released upon apoptosis and exerts its proapoptotic function (21,22).…”
