Title Dissociation between neurodegeneration and caspase-11-mediated activation of caspase-1 and caspase-3 in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Abstract Caspase-11 is a key regulator of caspase-1 and caspase-3 activation under pathological conditions. We show here that the expression of caspase-11 is upregulated in the spinal cord of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) G93A transgenic mice, a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), before the onset of motor dysfunction and remains at the high levels throughout the course of disease. The caspase-1- and caspase-3-like activities, as well as the level of interleukin-1beta, were significantly reduced in the spinal cord of symptomatic caspase-11-/-;SOD1 G93A mice compared with that of caspase-11+/-; SOD1 G93A mice. However, neurodegeneration, inflammatory responses, and the disease onset and progression in SOD1 G93A transgenic mice were not altered by the ablation of caspase-11 gene. Thus, although caspases may contribute to certain aspects of pathology in this mouse model of ALS, their inhibition is not sufficient to prevent neurodegeneration. Our study urges caution when considering the inhibition of caspases as a direct therapeutic method for the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative diseases. 02115, USA. Neuroscience

1499CASP1caspase 1, apoptosis-related cysteine peptidase (interleukin 1, beta, convertase)caspase 11.0the evidence of activation of caspase 1 and 3 by caspase 11 in g93a mice prompted us to compare the inflammatory response and cell death in g93a spinal cords in the presence or absence of caspase 11.
5992IL1Binterleukin 1, betail 11.0this result suggests that despite the significant reduction of caspase activation and il 1 beta levels in caspase 11 / ; g93a mice the inflammatory response induced by mutant sod1 was not significantly altered.
