Regulation of apoptosis: involvement of Bcl-2-related proteins.
This article is a concise review of up-to-date information and recent discoveries concerning structure, site of action, tissue distribution, biological effects and molecular mechanisms of Bcl-2 family proteins. Particular attention has been focused on the physiological aspect of Bcl-2 protein function with emphasis on animal production and health. Bcl-2-related proteins are the principal regula...
متن کاملApoptosis: Bcl-2-related proteins get connected
Bcl-2 family proteins are key intracellular regulators of programmed cell death. Several recent discoveries demonstrate how these proteins interact with the molecular machinery that controls and executes the cell-death programme, and how they can themselves be regulated by extracellular survival signals.
متن کاملRole 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 کاملInduction of apoptosis by metformin in epithelial ovarian cancer: involvement of the Bcl-2 family proteins.
OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to evaluate the ability of metformin to induce apoptosis in epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines and to identify the pathways involved in this effect. METHODS After treatment with metformin and/or cisplatin, OVCAR-3 and OVCAR-4 cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and caspase 3/7 activity. Cell cycle analysis was also performed by flow cytomet...
متن کاملThe Permeability Transition Pore Complex: A Target for Apoptosis Regulation by Caspases and Bcl-2–related Proteins
Early in programmed cell death (apoptosis), mitochondrial membrane permeability increases. This is at least in part due to opening of the permeability transition (PT) pore, a multiprotein complex built up at the contact site between the inner and the outer mitochondrial membranes. The PT pore has been previously implicated in clinically relevant massive cell death induced by toxins, anoxia, rea...
