Title in Portuguese
Novo peptídeo intracelular derivado da ciclina D2 induz morte celular.
Keywords in Portuguese
Apoptose
Ciclo celular
Morte celular
Necrose
Peptídeos intracelulares
Abstract in Portuguese
Peptídeos intracelulares são constantemente produzidos pelo sistema ubiquitina proteassomo e muitos são provavelmente funcionais. Aqui, um nonapeptídio derivado da ciclina-D2, específica da transição G1/S, chamado "pep5" mostrou um aumento específico durante a fase S do ciclo celular em células HeLa. O pep5 (50-100 μM) induziu a morte celular em células HeLa e em várias outras células tumorais, mas isso só ocorreu quando o pep5 foi sintetizado acoplado ao peptídeo penetrador de células (pep5-cpp). In vivo, o pep5-cpp reduziu o volume do glioblastoma C6 de ratos Wistar em cerca de 50%. A acetilação reduziu a potência do pep5-cpp, enquanto substituições Leu-Ala aboliram totalmente a atividade deste peptídeo. Os resultados de caracterização inicial do mecanismo de morte celular indizida pelo pep5 incluem ativação de caspases 3/7 e 9, inibição da fosforilação Akt2 e inibição da atividade do proteassomo. Esses dados colaboram com a hipótese da função de peptídeos intracelulares na sinalização.

Abstract in English
Intracellular peptides are constantly produced by the ubiquitinproteasome system and many are probably functional. Here, a nonapeptide of G1/S-specific cyclin-D2 named pep5 showed a specific increase during the S phase of HeLa cell cycle. Pep5 (50-100 μM) induced cell death in HeLa and in several other tumor cells, only when it was fused to a cell penetrating peptide (pep5-cpp). In vivo, the pep5-cpp reduced the volume of the rat C6 glioblastoma by almost 50%. Acetylation reduced the potency of the pep5-cpp while Leu-Ala substitutions totally abolished the pep5 activity. Findings from the initial characterization of the cell death mechanism of pep5 include caspase 3/7 and 9 activation, inhibition of Akt2 phosphorylation and inhibition of proteasome activity. These data further support the intracellular function of peptides.
