Objective: To investigate the age related changes of the expression of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) and caspase 3 in the cochlea of the different age of C57BL/6J mice. The relationship of PDCD5 and caspase 3 and the possible roles in the pathogenesis of presbycusis were also discussed.
Methods: C57 mice of 3, 6, 9 and 12 months old were selected and divided into 4 groups, with 15 mice in each group. Auditory function of C57BL/6J mice was measured by auditory brainstem response (ABR) respectively. The changes of PDCD5 and Caspase 3 protein in the cochlea were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, the changes of PDCD5 mRNA and caspase 3 mRNA were detected using RT-PCR.
Results: With the increase of age, the mean value for ABR thresholds in response to click, 4 kHz and 8 kHz sound stimulus of C57 mice gradually increased, the expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 were increased also. At 3 months and 6 months of age in the cochlea of C57, all sorts of expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 and the expression were enhanced with age. There was an evident expression at 9 months age, but the highest expression was detected at 12 months age. The PDCD5 and Caspase 3 expression were statistically different in each group (P < 0.05). The changes of PDCD5 and caspase 3 mRNA expression were in accordance with that of PDCD5 and Caspase 3 protein expression by the real-time PCR.
Conclusions: The expression levels of PDCD5 and caspase 3 in the cochlea of C57 mice increase with age, the results suggested that the expression of PDCD5 and caspase 3 might play an important role in the pathogenic mechanism of presbycusis.

Effect of Tiotropium Bromide on Airway Inflammation and Programmed Cell Death 5 in a Mouse Model of Ovalbumin-Induced Allergic Asthma.

Rationale: We previously demonstrated increased expression of programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) in asthmatic patients and ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma. International guidelines (GINA 2019) have included the use of tiotropium bromide for chronic treatment of the most severe and frequently exacerbated asthma in patients ≥6 years old, who do not have good response to inhaled corticosteroids.
Objective: To explore the role of tiotropium and its effect on PDCD5 level in a mouse model of chronic asthma.

The programmed cell death (PDCD) family plays a significant role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptotic cell death. However, the evolution, distribution and role of the PDCD family in lampreys have not been revealed. Thus, we identified the PDCD gene family in the lamprey genome and classified the genes into five subfamilies based on orthologs of the genes, conserved synteny, functional domains, phylogenetic tree, and conserved motifs.

Programmed cell death (PDCD)5 is cloned from human leukemia cell line TF-1. PDCD5 is one of the members of the programmed cell death protein family that is frequently involved in tumor growth and apoptosis. To investigate the molecular and cellular functions of PDCD5, the present study established a PDCD5 stably overexpressing A431 cell line and examined the role of PDCD5 in cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

Background: Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) was first identified as an apoptosis-promoting protein and involved in some autoimmune diseases and inflammatory processes. Our previous study demonstrated greater expression of serum PDCD5 in asthmatic patients than controls. This study aimed to further explore the significance of PDCD5 in mice with induced allergic asthma.

Cancer stem cells are responsible for the development, metastasis, recurrence, and drug resistance of cancer. More and more studies exhibited that the circulating CD133 cells is a marker for the prognosis of various malignancies. Programmed cell death protein 5 (PDCD5) can promote apoptosis in different tumor cell types in response to various stimuli.
