Upregulation of DAPK contributes to homocysteine-induced endothelial apoptosis via the modulation of Bcl2/Bax and activation of caspase 3

Abstract: Hyperhomocysteinemia is characterized by an abnormally high level of homocysteine (Hcy) in the blood and is associated with cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction may lead to the pro-atherogenic effects associated with hyperhomocysteinemia. Endothelial dysfunction induced by Hcy has been previously investigated; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be fully elucidated. The present study investigated whether death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is involved i… Show more

“…Moreover, DAPK1 binds the full‐length microtubule‐associated protein 1B (MAP1B) by its kinase domain forming a stable immune complex under amino acid starvation conditions provoking membrane blebbing. MAP1B knockout using small interfering RNA (siRNA) attenuated DAPK1‐stimulated autophagy and membrane blebbing …”

“…Hcy-induced cell apoptosis has been studied in various cell types including neuronal [17], promyeloid [18], endothelial [19,20], and mesangial cells [21]. The study in mesangial cells showed that Hcy induces apoptosis by activating p38-mitogen-activeated protein kinase [21].…”
