Abstract

In the study presented here, we investigated the possible interactions between CD95 (Fas/APO-1) and Bcl-2 by studying the effects of Bcl-2 on the modulation of cellular pathways activated by CD95 using HeLa cells as a model system. We report that stable expression of Bcl-2 in HeLa cells is associated with multiple phenotypic changes. Treatment of HeLa cells with anti-CD95 monoclonal antibody (mAb) resulted in preferential degradation of lamin B compared with lamins A and C. Significant lamin B degradation was detected as early as 1 h after anti-CD95 mAb treatment. In contrast, lamins A and C as well as actin remained unchanged until 4 h after treatment with anti-CD95 mAb, a time point that correlated with the period of DNA fragmentation. These results indicate that selective degradation of lamin B is an early cellular event in response to activation of the CD95 pathway and that it precedes DNA fragmentation. Overexpression of Bcl-2 resulted in prevention of lamin B degradation and DNA fragmentation into oligonucleosome fragments in response to the apoptotic signal by anti-CD95 mAb. In addition, in Bcl-2-overexpressing cells that were protected against apoptosis, anti-CD95 mAb-induced cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase was ...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.

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
