Proapoptotic bcl-2 family members, Bax and Bak, are essential for developmental photoreceptor apoptosis.
PURPOSE Apoptosis has been implicated in retinal development and degeneration, but the specific apoptotic pathways used are incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to characterize the roles in retinal development of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak. METHODS Eyes from mice at postnatal day (P)7, during the peak of developmental apoptosis in the retina, were proc...
متن کاملWT1 induces apoptosis through transcriptional regulation of the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bak.
Wilms' tumor or nephroblastoma is believed to arise from embryonic nephrogenic rests of multipotent cells that fail to terminally differentiate into epithelium and continue to proliferate. The WT1 tumor suppressor gene, a transcription factor controlling the mesenchymal-epithelial transition in renal development, is mutated in 10% to 15% of Wilms' tumors. This potentially explains the disordere...
متن کاملInvolvement of proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members in terbinafine-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in HL60 cells.
Terbinafine (TB, lamisil), a promising world widely used oral-anti-fungal agent, has been used in the treatment of superficial mycosis. In this study, we found that apoptosis but not cell growth arrest was induced by TB (1 microM, for 24 h) in human promyelocytic leukemia (HL60) cells. The apoptotic effect induced by TB in the HL60 cell was not through the general differentiation mechanisms evi...
متن کاملProsurvival Bcl-2 family members affect autophagy only indirectly, by inhibiting Bax and Bak.
Antiapoptotic B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family members such as Bcl-2, myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1), and B-cell lymphoma-X large (Bcl-xL) are proposed to inhibit autophagy by directly binding to the BH3 domain of Beclin 1/Atg6. However, these Bcl-2 family proteins also block the proapoptotic activity of Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) and Bcl-2 homologous antagonist/killer (Bak), and many inducers o...
