چکیده انگلیسی
Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) has been shown to induce apoptosis in a caspase-dependent manner, but the precise apoptotic pathway remains unknown. We found that caspases 9 and 3, but not caspase 8, were activated during VSV-induced apoptosis in infected Vero cells. Since caspase 9 is related to the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, we analyzed some mitochondrial events such as changes in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ÎÏm) and mitochondrial release of apoptogenic proteins such as cytochrome c and the apoptosis inducing factor (AIF). We found that VSV infection triggers the dissipation of the ÎÏm and the release of both cytochrome c and AIF from the mitochondrial intermembrane space very early in the VSV infection. These results indicate that the trigger of apoptosis in VSV-infected cells occurs through the early activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. On the other hand, intracellular levels of the anti-apoptotic proteins, such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, and the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, were assessed during viral infection. These analyses showed that as viral infection proceeded, the cellular level of Bcl-xL decreased, while the levels of Bax and Bcl-2 remained unaffected. The significance of the Bcl-xL modulation is also discussed.
