This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab32042). Anti-CASP3 antibody [E83-77] (ab32042) staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab32042 was shown to bind specifically to CASP3. A band was observed at 16/28 kDa in treated wild-type HeLa cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CASP3 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and CASP3 knockout HeLa cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

The Cleaved Caspase-3 also known as active caspase 3 plays an important role in the execution phase of cell apoptosis. The caspase 3 molecule has a molecular weight of approximately 32 kDa. It undergoes cleavage into subunits that are important for its activation marking its conversion into the cleaved form. Cleaved caspase is widely expressed in various tissues with a notable presence in the cytoplasm of cells undergoing apoptotic processes. Cleavage of caspase 3 results in the formation of a functional enzyme that participates in the degradation of cellular components during apoptosis.
Biological function summary

Caspase 3 acts as an executioner enzyme in the process of programmed cell death. Its cleavage from the inactive zymogen form into the active form triggers apoptotic pathways ensuring the removal of damaged or unnecessary cells. Cleaved caspase operates within a proteolytic cascade often in conjunction with other caspases such as caspase 9. Once activated caspase 3 targets and cleaves specific cellular substrates contributing to the characteristic morphological changes and DNA fragmentation associated with apoptosis.

Pathways

Cleaved caspase 3 is significant within the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways. It acts downstream of initiator caspases such as caspase 9 in the intrinsic pathway where its activation involves mitochondrial signals. In the extrinsic pathway it closely associates with caspase 8 mediating cell death signals from extracellular triggers. These pathways ensure that cleaved caspase 3 fulfills its role as a critical mediator of apoptosis linking upstream death signals to cellular dismantling during the apoptosis process.

Cleaved caspase 3 connects to conditions such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer dysregulation of caspase 3 activity may lead to evasion of apoptosis facilitating tumor progression. Therapeutic approaches aim to restore its apoptotic functions in cancer cells. In neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease abnormal activation of cleaved caspase 3 contributes to neuronal loss. It interacts with proteins like amyloid precursor protein promoting the pathological changes associated with this disorder. Understanding these interactions provides insights into potential therapeutic avenues.

Following cleavage and activation by initiator caspases (CASP8, CASP9 and/or CASP10), mediates execution of apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage of many proteins (PubMed : 18723680, PubMed : 20566630, PubMed : 23650375, PubMed : 7596430). At the onset of apoptosis, it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP1 at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond (PubMed : 10497198, PubMed : 16374543, PubMed : 7596430, PubMed : 7774019). Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain (By similarity). Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9 (CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9, respectively) (PubMed : 7596430). Cleaves and inactivates interleukin-18 (IL18) (PubMed : 37993714, PubMed : 9334240). Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin (PubMed : 8696339). Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage (PubMed : 21357690). Cleaves DSG2 in response to apoptosis resulting in a loss of full length DSG2 at desmosome cell junctions and subsequent loss of cell-cell adhesion (PubMed : 17559062). Also cleaves JUP in response to apoptosis (PubMed : 17559062). Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress (PubMed : 23152800). Acts as an inhibitor of type I interferon production during virus-induced apoptosis by mediating cleavage of antiviral proteins CGAS, IRF3 and MAVS, thereby preventing cytokine overproduction (PubMed : 30878284). Also involved in pyroptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of gasdermin-E (GSDME) (PubMed : 35338844, PubMed : 35446120). Cleaves XRCC4 and phospholipid scramblase proteins XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9, leading to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface (PubMed : 23845944, PubMed : 33725486). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC (PubMed : 36758104, PubMed : 36758106).
