MCL-1ES Induces MCL-1L-Dependent BAX- and BAK-Independent Mitochondrial Apoptosis
MCL-1 (myeloid cell leukemia-1), a member of the BCL-2 family, has three splicing variants, antiapoptotic MCL-1L, proapoptotic MCL-1S, and MCL-1ES. We previously reported cloning MCL-1ES and characterizing it as an apoptotic molecule. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism by which MCL-1ES promotes cell death. MCL-1ES was distinct from other proapoptotic BCL-2 members that induce apoptos...
متن کاملThe anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1 inhibits mitochondrial Ca2+ signals.
Apoptosis contributes to the regulation of cell growth and regeneration and to the development of neoplasia. Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic protein that is particularly important for the development of hematological and biliary malignancies, but the mechanism of action of Mcl-1 is unknown. A number of pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins exhibit their effects by modulating Ca2+ signals, so we examined ...
متن کاملAge-related changes in the ratio of Mcl-1/Bax expression in the rat cochlea.
CONCLUSION Down-regulation of the ratio of Mcl-1/Bax expression may contribute to age-related sensory cell degeneration in the cochlea. OBJECTIVE To better understand the involvement of Bcl-2 family members in the regulation of age-related sensory cell death, we examined the expression patterns of Bcl-2-associated protein X (Bax) and its suppressor, myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) in young an...
متن کاملThe Effect of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) on Bax and Mcl-1 Expression in Human Neutrophils
In the present study we examined a role of pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Mcl-1 proteins, participating in the regulation of intrinsic apoptosis pathway in human neutrophils (PMNs) exposed to N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), the environmental xenobiotic. For the purpose comparison, the same studies were conducted in autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The production of cy...
متن کاملThe MCL-1 BH3 Helix is an Exclusive MCL-1 inhibitor and Apoptosis Sensitizer
The development of selective inhibitors for discrete anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family proteins implicated in pathologic cell survival remains a formidable but pressing challenge. Such precisely tailored compounds would serve as molecular probes and targeted therapies to study and treat human diseases driven by specific anti-apoptotic blockades. In particular, MCL-1 has emerged as a major resistance ...
