The interaction of glucocorticoid modulatory element-binding protein 1 (GMEB1) with procaspase-2, -8, or -9 prevents caspase oligomerization and maturation. In the present study, we examined the effect of GMEB1 on neuronal apoptosis induced by hypoxia and oxidative stress. GMEB1 effectively attenuated caspase activation and apoptosis caused by these stresses in human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells, indicating that it functions as a potent inhibitor of caspase activation and apoptosis in response to oxidative stress. We propose that GMEB1 blocks pro-apoptosis signals induced by a variety of stresses. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
