Abstract

The present study sought to determine the correlation between 2-methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E2)-induced cell cycle arrest and 2-MeO-E2-induced apoptosis. Exposure of Jurkat T cell clone (JT/Neo) to 2-MeO-E2 (0.5-1.0 μM) caused G2/M arrest, Bak activation, Δψm loss, caspase-9 and -3 activation, PARP cleavage, intracellular ROS accumulation, and apoptotic DNA fragmentation, whereas none of these events except for G2/M arrest were induced in Jurkat T cells overexpressing Bcl-2 (JT/Bcl-2). Under these conditions, Cdk1 phosphorylation at Thr-161 and dephosphorylation at Tyr-15, up-regulation of cyclin B1 expression, histone H1 phosphorylation, Cdc25C phosphorylation at Thr-48, Bcl-2 phosphorylation at Thr-56 and Ser-70, Mcl-1 phosphorylation at Ser-159/Thr-163, and Bim phosphorylation were detected irrespective of Bcl-2 overexpression. Concomitant treatment of JT/Neo cells with 2-MeO-E2 and the G1/S blocking agent aphidicolin resulted in G1/S arrest and abrogation of all apoptotic events, including Cdk1 activation, phosphorylation of Bcl-2, Mcl-1 and Bim, and ROS accumulation. The 2-MeO-E2-induced phosphorylation of Bcl-2 family proteins and mitochondrial apoptotic events were suppressed by a Cdk1 inhibitor, but not by an Aurora A kinas...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

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

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.
