http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/12878166http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs) are structurally and functionally similar to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We have previously demonstrated that a SVMP, named gaminelysin, can induce endothelial cell apoptosis [Biochem J. 357 (2001) 719]. In this study, the action mechanism of graminelysin in causing endothelial cell apoptosis was further investigated. We showed that the apoptosis was initiated with cell shape change and extracellular matrix degradation and occurred before cell detachment. Cleaved forms of MMP-2 might act in concert with graminelysin to cause apoptosis. During apoptosis, adherens junctions, including VE-cadherin and beta- and gamma-catenin were cleaved and alpha-catenin was decreased. VE-cadherin and beta-catenin at cell periphery were decreased and the discontinuity in alignment was found as observed with immunofluorescence microscopy. This was accompanied with a diffuse beta-catenin staining in the cytoplasm and a decreased F-actin stress fibers in some rounded cells. The decrease of VE-cadherin and beta-catenin in Triton-insoluble fractions confirmed that the association of adherens junctions with actin cytoskeleton was altered during apoptosis. Graminelysin-induced cleavage in adherens junctions was paralleled with the changes in paracellular permeability. We also detected the activation of caspase-3 and the decrease of Bcl-2/Bax ratio during apoptosis. However, caspase inhibitors showed differential effects in blocking the cleavage of PARP, adherens junctions, and DNA fragmentation. Taken together, the data presented suggest that metalloproteinase can control cell fates via the degradation of matrix proteins, the change of cell shape, and the cleavage of adherens junctions."xsd:string
