Role of the BH3 (Bcl-2 homology 3) domain in the regulation of apoptosis and Bcl-2-related proteins.
The Bcl-2 family of proteins play a prominent role in the regulation of apoptosis. From the initial identification of bcl-2 as an oncogene in follicular lymphoma through genetic studies in Caenorhabditis elegans to recent functional studies focusing on the importance of mitochondrial events in cell death signalling, the members of this protein family continue to be implicated in pivotal decisio...
متن کاملBcl-2 overexpression attenuates resveratrol-induced apoptosis in U937 cells by inhibition of caspase-3 activity.
Resveratrol has been shown to induce anti-proliferation and apoptosis of human cancer cell lines. In the present study, we determined the effect of high intracellular levels of the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 on caspase-3 activation, PLC-gamma1 degradation and cytochrome c release during resveratrol-induced apoptosis. For this, we used U937/vector and U937/Bcl-2 cells, which were generated by ...
متن کاملThe Bcl-2 homology domain 3 (BH3) mimetic ABT-737 reveals the dynamic regulation of bad, a proapoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family, by Bcl-xL.
The proteins of the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family are important regulators of apoptosis under normal and pathological conditions. Chemical compounds that block the antiapoptotic proteins of this family have been introduced, such as 4-[4-[(4'-Chloro[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-yl)methyl]-1-piperazinyl]-N-[[4-[[(1R)-3-(dimethylamino)-1-[(phenylthio)methyl]propyl]amino]-3-nitrophenyl]sulfonyl]benzamide (A...
متن کاملMechanisms of antileukemic activity of the novel Bcl-2 homology domain-3 mimetic GX15-070 (obatoclax).
In this study, we investigated the mechanism of apoptosis induction of obatoclax (GX15-070), a novel Bcl-2 homology domain-3 (BH3) mimetic, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary AML samples. Obatoclax inhibited cell growth of HL-60, U937, OCI-AML3, and KG-1 cell lines. Apoptosis induction contributed to the observed antiproliferative effects at concentrations of this agent that...
متن کاملTargeting Bcl-2-IP3 receptor interaction to reverse Bcl-2's inhibition of apoptotic calcium signals.
The antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 inhibits Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). One proposed mechanism involves an interaction of Bcl-2 with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) Ca2+ channel localized with Bcl-2 on the ER. Here we document Bcl-2-IP3R interaction within cells by FRET and identify a Bcl-2 interacting region in the regulatory and coupling domain of the IP3R....
