Abstract

The aim of the present work was to identify the role of cycloferon in the apoptosis of cells in the neurosecretory centers of the hypothalamus in young and old mice in conditions of immobilization stress. Apoptotic cells were identified by staining with ethidium bromide. The optical density of the detection product of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 was also studied in cells of the supraoptic and paraventricular (PVN) nuclei. Cycloferon was found to decrease the level of apoptosis in the neurosecretory centers of the hypothalamus via a Bcl-2-independent pathway. Administration of cycloferon before stress had no effect on the number of apoptotic cells, except in the PVN of old mice, where apoptosis was inhibited.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
