Abstract

Different mechanisms have been proposed for the activity of the Bcl-2 proto-oncogene product. A bona fide antioxidant activity and a pro-oxidant setting up of the cell have been suggested using different experimental models, yet many uncertainties exist about the biochemical mechanism of Bcl-2 action. In the present paper, we report the characterization of the cellular response to mild oxidative stress of a cultured cell line of immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT), overexpressing the Bcl-2 oncogene product. A sublethal oxidative stress was induced by 1 h treatment with 200 microM tert-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BOOH). Following peroxide treatment, the formation of reactive oxygen species was lower in Bcl-2 expressing cells, suggesting a better capacity to counter oxidative stress. Total Superoxide Dismutase activity was induced by oxidative t-BOOH treatment in bcl-2 transfected cells, which also accumulated less damage to membrane lipids and proteins, as assessed by TBA-RS and carbonyl formation respectively. On the other hand, the formation of 4-hydroxy-nonenal, a more specific marker of peroxidative damage to polyunsaturated fatty acids, was higher in bcl-2 transfected cells than in control cells. Bcl-2 over-expression was also as...Continue Reading

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.
