Popis: | Serum endonucleases are essential for degrading the chromatin released from dead cells and preventing autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Serum DNase I is known as the major endonuclease, but recently, another endonuclease, DNase γ/DNase I-like 3, gained attention. However, the precise role of each endonuclease, especially that of DNase γ, remains unclear. In this study, we distinguished the activities of DNase γ from those of DNase I in mouse serum and concluded that both cooperated in degrading DNA during necrosis: DNase γ functions as the primary chromatolytic activity, causing internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, and DNase I as the secondary one, causing random DNA digestion for its complete degradation. These results were confirmed by two in vivo experimental mouse models, in which necrosis was induced, acetaminophen-induced hepatic injury and streptozotocin-induced β-cell necrosis models. We also determined that DNase γ functions as a backup endonuclease for caspase-activated DNase (CAD) in the secondary necrosis phase after γ-ray-induced apoptosis in vivo. |
