| Introduction | Caspase-4 (TX/ICH-2/ICErelII) is a member of the caspase family of proteases that play a key role in the execution of apoptosis and activation of inflammatory cytokines. Expression of caspase-4 has been observed in most tissues except brain, with highest levels in placenta, lung, spleen, and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Caspase-4 was originally found to contribute to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Several caspases (including caspase-4, caspase-5, and mouse caspase-11 and -12) are most closely related to caspase-1 and are capable of inducing apoptosis when over-expressed but are better characterized in the proteolytic activation of inflammatory cytokines. Caspase-4 associates with TRAF6 and is involved in the LPS inducible production of inflammatory cytokines IL-8 and MIP1 in THP-1 cells. While caspase-4 and mouse caspase-12 localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and may be activated by drugs that induce ER-stress at least one study suggests that caspase-4 and caspase-12 are not essential for the ER-stress induced apoptosis. |
