No significant difference was observed between untreated cells and cells treated with ara-C alone or ara-C + L-control (P > 0.4). Enrollment of CLL patients in a clinical trial with ABT-199 was recently suspended after the death of a patient due to tumor lysis syndrome but dosing of already enrolled patients continues.53, Doris R. Siwak, ... Gabriel Lopez-Berestein, in Methods in Enzymology, 2004.

These proteins bind to inactivate the inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs), which are a polyfunctional family of ubiquitin ligases that can degrade active caspases.

Some family members act to sustain cell survival (including Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) while others (including Bax, Bid, and Bak) promote cell death.1, Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bax localize to several intracellular membranes, including the outer mitochondrial membrane, nuclear envelope, and parts of the endoplasmic reticulum. Various members of the herpesvirus family inhibit different steps in p53-mediated apoptosis. [12], Damage to the Bcl-2 gene has been identified as a cause of a number of cancers, including melanoma, breast, prostate, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and lung cancer, and a possible cause of schizophrenia and autoimmunity.

Mice that overexpress the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 or are deficient in the proapoptotic protein Bim demonstrate a lupus-like disease on certain strain backgrounds.17 Bcl-2 is not a critical player in positive or negative thymic selection but may promote autoimmunity by enhancing cell survival in peripheral lymphocytes. Elle est capable d'induire l'apoptose en se liant avec des copies d'elle-même. The BH3-only family adds to the complexity of apoptosis regulation because individual members are expressed in a cell-type specific manner, and may allow for the response to organelle specific signals. Ces protéines ne possèdent qu’un seul des quatre domaines d’homologie et sont toutes pro-apoptotiques.

Genetic experiments in mice revealed several different functions for Bcl-2 family members. Samples of bone marrow or peripheral blood from newly diagnosed or recurrent AML patients are obtained and mononuclear cells are separated by Ficoll–Hypaque (Sigma Chemical, St. Louis, MO) density gradient centrifugation. Disruptions in protein folding can lead to the “unfolded protein response” (UPR) and trigger cell death.25 One ER stress response in mice has been shown to depend on caspase 12. Hepatocytes and interlobular bile ducts of portal tracts were negative for Bcl-2 protein and mRNA (Figure 32E). The bacterial toxin proteins have a unique ability to exist either as soluble or membraneinserted proteins. Over-expression of anti-apoptotic genes, and under-expression of pro-apoptotic genes, can result in the lack of cell death that is characteristic of cancer. It is shown that this effect of Bcl-2 does not seem to be an indirect consequence of its anti-apoptotic activity.

The deletion of activated immune cells removes the source of proinflammatory molecules, prevents the continued presentation of self-peptides by primed (high levels of costimulatory molecules) antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and eliminates B cells that have mutated to self-specificity in the germinal centers.32 Neutrophil homeostasis is also maintained by the Fas/FasL system. 10.25.

The mononuclear cells are seeded at 5 × 105 cells/ml in RPMI + 10% FBS supplemented with 200 U/ml of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). 17.3; Table 17.3).

Bcl-2 prevents apoptosis by suppressing MMPT and Cyt c release (Fig. Introduction of recombinant Bcl-xL protein into the presynaptic terminal of the squid giant axon potentiates transmitter release and vesicle recycling after intense synaptic activity.84,85 Expression of Bcl-xL in hippocampal neurons increases the number and size of presynaptic vesicle clusters and miniature excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) amplitude and frequency.86 Bcl-xL is highly expressed in mature neurons after expression of many other Bcl-2 proteins such as Bax and Bcl-2 have declined.87, Until relatively recently, it was thought that permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane and activation of the “effector” caspase, caspase 3, was a “point of no return” in the execution of apoptotic cell death of postischemic neurons and most other cell types.77 Global ischemia promotes caspase 3 upregulation and activation within 1 to 2 hours after insult or 2 to 3 days before the onset of histologically detectable neuronal death.88-90 The importance of early caspase 3 activation to global ischemia–induced neuronal death is underscored by the finding that Z-DEVD-FMK, a selective caspase 3 inhibitor, is neuroprotective if administered at the time of ischemia but not at 24 hours or later.89 Thus, the apoptotic machinery is engaged early in the postischemic period.

[16], Proteins of the Bcl-2 family are also present in the perinuclear envelope and are widely distributed in many body tissues. Similar to Fas, TNFR1 signals through FADD and caspase 8, and this signaling depends on the adaptor molecule TRADD, which has a region homologous to the FADD death domain. Proapoptotic members are further classified as multidomain proteins that contain three BH domains: BH1-3 (Bak and Bax) and the “BH3-only” proteins (Bid, Bad, Bim, Puma, Noxa BIK, BMF, HKR/DP5) of unknown structure (except for Bid, which adopts the overall structure of the Bcl-2 family proteins).54,69,70 Because they are thought to induce cell death by inhibiting the antiapoptotic family members, BH3-only proteins are divided into two groups: the “inactivators” or “indirect activators” (e.g., Bad, Noxa) and the “direct activators” (e.g., tBid and, possibly, also Bim and Puma), which bind transiently and activate the multidomain proteins Bax and Bak.73 The balance between antiapoptotic and proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members has long been thought to determine the functional integrity of the mitochondrial outer membrane and commitment to cell death (see later).33,54,72 When the abundance of Bax, Bim, Bad, and Bid exceeds that of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members, it promotes the release of cytochrome c and other apoptogenic factors from the mitochondria, which initiate apoptosis. There are at least 20 known Bcl-2 family members in mammals that have diverse cellular localization and function and are broadly divided into three interacting groups (see Table 11-1; and reviewed in reference 16). The structure consists of two central primarily hydrophobic α-helices surrounded by amphipathic helices. Zheng C(1), Liu T(1), Liu H(1), Wang J(2). BH3-only protein initiation of apoptosis in C. elegans and mammals.

Bcl-2 family proteins have a general structure that consists of a hydrophobic α-helix surrounded by amphipathic α-helices. Bcl-2 peut inhiber Bax en formant des hétérodimères Bax-Bcl-2 inactifs. However, results in the ability of these isoforms to bind to the BAD and BAK proteins, as well as in the structural topology and electrostatic potential of the binding groove, suggest differences in antiapoptotic activity for the two isoforms.
