Primitive human hematopoietic precursors express Bcl-x but not Bcl-2.
Bcl-2 and its homologue, bcl-xL, encode membrane-associated proteins that suppress programmed cell death of hematopoietic cell lines after growth factor withdrawal, and are expressed in hematopoietic precursor cells. To better understand the maintenance of long-term survival in the hematopoietic stem cell population, we evaluated the expression patterns of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x in primitive hematopoi...
متن کاملSurvival-factor-induced phosphorylation of Bad results in its dissociation from Bcl-x(L) but not Bcl-2.
The pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-family protein Bad heterodimerizes with Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) in the outer mitochondrial membranes, nullifying their anti-apoptotic activities and promoting cell death. We report that interleukin-3 (IL-3) stimulation induces Bad phosphorylation and triggers its translocation from mitochondria to cytoplasm in cells expressing Bcl-x(L) but not Bcl-2. Overexpression of Bad sen...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of Fas and bcl-2 expression in hematopoietic precursors.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We investigated the expression of bcl-2 and CD95 (Apo1-/Fas) on CD34+ cells obtained from bone marrow (BM), mobilized peripheral blood (MPB), and umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples. The expression of bcl-2 and Fas was then compared with that of other markers usually associated with immaturity; functional tests using the agonistic antibody anti- Fas CH11 were also carri...
متن کاملBcl-2 correlates with localization but not outcome in human osteosarcoma
bcl-2 is a member of the bcl-2 family that inhibits apoptosis, plays a crucial role in cell viability and is expressed in various types of tumors. With respect to inconsistent results in previous studies, the aim of the present study was to generate a clear hypothesis with regards to the value of bcl-2 expression as a predictive or prognostic factor in human osteosarcoma. The expression of bcl-...
متن کاملbax, but not bcl-2, influences the prognosis of human pancreatic cancer.
BACKGROUND bcl-2 and bax belong to the bcl-2-related gene family, which marks a new class of genes that influence apoptosis. The bcl-2 oncogene acts as a broad antiapoptotic factor and extends both normal and tumour cell survival. In contrast, the bax gene is a promoter of apoptosis. AIMS To analyse the expression of bcl-2 and bax in pancreatic cancer and correlate the results with clinical p...
