Differential contribution of Puma and Noxa in dual regulation of p53-mediated apoptotic pathways.
The activation of tumor suppressor p53 induces apoptosis or cell cycle arrest depending on the state and type of cell, but it is not fully understood how these different responses are regulated. Here, we show that Puma and Noxa, the well-known p53-inducible proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family, differentially participate in dual pathways of the induction of apoptosis. In normal cells, Puma ...
متن کاملUp-regulation of Mcl-1 is critical for survival of human melanoma cells upon endoplasmic reticulum stress.
We have previously shown that most melanoma cell lines are insensitive to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis, and this involves activation of the mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK)/ERK signaling pathway and expression of the apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) protein in the cells. In the present study, we show that up-re...
متن کاملPuma joins the battery of BH3-only proteins that promote death and infarction during myocardial ischemia.
PUMA (p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis) is a member of the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only subfamily of Bcl-2-related proapoptotic proteins that are implicated in numerous apoptotic pathways responding to developmental signals and cellular stress. Puma was originally identified as a target for the tumor suppressor transcription factor p53 and was shown to play the leading role in p53-mediated...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation triggers apoptosis of fibroblasts and skin keratinocytes mainly via the BH3-only protein Noxa
To identify the mechanisms of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cell death, for which the tumor suppressor p53 is essential, we have analyzed mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and keratinocytes in mouse skin that have specific apoptotic pathways blocked genetically. Blocking the death receptor pathway provided no protection to MEFs, whereas UVR-induced apoptosis was potently inhibited by Bcl...
متن کاملCisplatin overcomes Bcl-2-mediated resistance to apoptosis via preferential engagement of Bak: critical role of Noxa-mediated lipid peroxidation.
Increased expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins confers therapeutic resistance in various cancer types. Targeting Bcl-2 proteins by small molecules or activating alternative pathways to bypass Bcl-2-mediated protection to promote apoptosis are two approaches to overcoming therapeutic resistance. Here, we show that cisplatin triggers a Bak-dependent pathway to induce apoptosis in Bcl-2-over...
