| Research Abstract |
Caspase-8 activation requires tight regulation owing to its two opposing functions, namely as an initiator of apoptosis and in a non-apoptotic role including induction of the pro-inflammatory response. We have demonstrated that a novel Salmonella effector GogA induces caspase-8 activation. The limited caspase-8 activation by GogA is involved in NFkB activation, leading to modulation of proinflammatory cytokines at the early stage of Salmonella infection. However, caspase-8 activation is not involved in induction of pyroptosis. Furthermore, caspase-8 activation by GogA may be required for interaction with LSm8, U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein. On the other hand, Salmonella has another effector involving in caspase-8 activation in addition of GogA. These finding together, it is suggested that induction of NFkB activation by the activated-caspase-8 are regulated through translocation of some effectors including GogA, leading to proliferation of Salmonella within host cells.
