Bcl-xL blocks transforming growth factor-beta 1-induced apoptosis by inhibiting cytochrome c release and not by directly antagonizing Apaf-1-dependent caspase activation in prostate epithelial cells

Abstract

The mechanism by which transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) induces apoptosis of prostate epithelial cells was studied in the NRP-154 rat prostate epithelial cell line. TGF-beta 1 down-regulates expression of Bcl-xL and poly(ADP-ribosyl)polymerase (PARP), promotes cytochrome c release, up-regulates expression of latent caspase-3, and activates caspases 3 and 9. We tested the role of Bcl-xL in this cascade by stably overexpressing Bcl-xL to prevent loss by TGF-beta 1. Clones overexpressing Bcl-xL are resistant to TGF-beta 1 with respect to induction of apoptosis, cytochrome c release, activation of caspases 9 and 3, and cleavage of PARP; yet they remain sensitive to TGF-beta 1 by cell cycle arrest, induction of both fibronectin and latent caspase-3 expression, and loss of PARP expression. We show that Bcl-xL associates with Apaf-1 in NRP-154 cells; but this association does not inhibit the activation of caspases 9 and 3 by cytochrome c. Together, our data suggest that TGF-beta1 induces apoptosis through loss of Bcl-xL, leading to cytochrome c release and the subsequent activation of caspases 9 and 3. Moreover, our data demonstrate that the antiapoptotic effect of Bcl-xL occurs by inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c ...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
