Western Blot Analysis of Caspase-3 in TSGH 8301 Cells After Multiple Treatment Types

Paclitaxel in combination with MWE retarded tumor growth in a human bladder carcinoma TSGH 8301 xenograft model. The levels of total (t-PTEN) and phospho-PTEN (p-PTEN) and Caspase 3 in the tumor specimens were determined by Western blotting and then quantified using beta-actin as the protein loading control; the results are expressed as a percentage of the control.

Image of Caspase-3 Antibody (31A1067) - (Pro and Active). Whole cell protein from Jurkat cells treated with and without 2 uM staurosporine as indicated was separated on a 4-15% gel by SDS-PAGE, transferred to 0.2 um PVDF membrane and blocked in 5% non-fat milk in TBST. The membrane was probed with 5 ug/ml anti-Caspase 3 in 1% milk, and detected with an anti-mouse HRP secondary antibody using a Femto sensitivity chemiluminescence reagent. Note the detection of both pro-caspase 3 at 35 kDa and the cleaved active caspase 3 at 15-17 kDa. Image using the standard format of this product.

Image using the standard format of this product.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Caspase-3 in Paraffin Embedded Human Breast Cancer

Analysis in human breast cancer stained at 4ug/ml. Localization can be cytoplasmic and nuclear. Staining in the nucleus is considered to be an indication of active Caspase-3. In most cell types and model systems, cells with active Caspase-3 are undergoing apoptosis.

Immunohistochemical Staining of Caspase-3 in Paraffin Embedded Normal Colon

Analysis in normal colon stained 4ug/ml. Localization can be cytoplasmic and nuclear. Staining in the nucleus is considered to be an indication of active Caspase-3. In most cell types and model systems, cells with active Caspase-3 are undergoing apoptosis.

Background: Caspase-3

CPP32 encodes a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family that plays a key role in apoptosis. Caspase 3 (also known as CPP32, Apopain, Yama, and PARP cleavage protease) is the most extensively studied apoptotic protein among caspase family members (1-2). Caspase 3 is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme that is processed in cells undergoing apoptosis by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by other upstream proteases (e.g. Caspases 8, 9 and 10). Alternative splicing of CPP32 results in two transcript variants which encode the same protein. The processed form of Caspase 3 consists of large (theoretical molecular weight 17kD) and small (theoretical molecular weight 12kD) subunits which associate to form an active enzyme. Caspase 3 is cleaved at Asp28/Ser29 and Asp175/Ser176. The active Caspase 3 proteolytically cleaves and activates other caspases (e.g. Caspases 6, 7 and 9), as well as relevant targets in the cells (e.g. PARP and DFF). Variations in levels of Caspase 3 have been reported in cells of short-lived nature and those with a longer life cycle. Caspase 3 is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of amyloid beta 4A precursor protein, which is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer's disease (3).
