The survival of T lymphocytes is tightly controlled during development. Here, we show that Bcl-xL, a protein homologue of Bcl-2, is highly regulated in the thymus in a pattern different than that of Bcl-2. The maximum expression was in CD4+CD8+ thymocytes, a developmental stage where Bcl-2 is downregulated. To assess the role of Bcl-xL in thymocyte apoptosis, we generated mice overexpressing an...
Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL are associated with treatment resistance and progression in many cancers, including prostate cancer. The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel bispecific antisense oligonucleotide targeting both Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL induces apoptosis and enhances chemosensitivity in androgen-independent PC3 prostate cancer cells. An antisense oligonucleotide with complete sequenc...
INTRODUCTION Bcl-xL, an important member of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family, plays critical roles in tumor progression and development. Previously, we have reported that overexpression of Bcl-xL was correlated with prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of Bcl-xL expression with invasion and radiosensitivity of human CRC cells. METH...
Both Bcl-xL and Bcl-2, antiapoptotic members of the Bcl family, are found in prostate cancer cell lines. Although these proteins may have similar antiapoptotic functions, it is not clear to what extent each serves as an antiapoptotic effector in prostate cancer cells. We engineered LNCaP and PC-3 cells to overexpress Bcl-xL protein and demonstrated that this desensitized them to the effects of ...
Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) is anti-apoptotic, key in development and cancer, however without the typical Bcl2 family members' structure. Here we report that TCTP contains a BH3-like domain and forms heterocomplexes with Bcl-xL. The crystal structure of a Bcl-xL deletion variant-TCTP11-31 complex reveals that TCTP refolds in a helical conformation upon binding the BH3-groove...
PURPOSE To identify determinants of the effect of antisense-mediated Bcl-xl down-regulation (Bcl-xl knockdown) on the response of colorectal cancer cells to SN38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor licensed for colorectal cancer chemotherapy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using wild-type HCT116, p53 null, Bax null, or p21/WAF1 null isogenic derivatives, we measured express...
Cytochrome C is a mitochondrial protein that induces apoptosis when released into the cytosol or when added to cell-free extracts. Here we show that cells that overexpress the Bcl-2-related protein Bcl-xL fail to accumulate cytosolic cytochrome C or undergo apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that Bcl-xL associates with cytochrome C. Cytochrome C...
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is commonly used to treat human colon cancers but resistance to this compound is frequently observed in clinics. To characterize mechanisms of resistance to 5-FU and to develop new strategies for overcoming it, we established two cell lines that were resistant to 5-FU but not other chemotherapeutic agents from parental 5-FU-sensitive cell lines. Western blot analysis revea...
Homoharringtonine (HHT) has been reported to be effective in a portion of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). To investigate its mechanism of action, cell growth inhibition and cytotoxicity of HHT were investigated in three AML cell lines, HL-60, NB4, and U937, and in three CML cell lines, K562, KU812, and KCL22. AML cells were more sensitive than CML c...
Effects of concomitant inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL (BCL2L1) were examined in human myeloid leukemia cells. Tetracycline-inducible Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL dual knockdown sharply increased PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor lethality. Conversely, inducible knockdown or dominant-negative AKT increased, whereas constitutively active AKT reduced lethality of the Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitor ABT...
