Abstract

Apoptin, a small protein derived from chicken anemia virus (CAV), induces apoptosis in human tumor cell lines regardless of whether these express p53 or not. We examined whether the small adenovirus 5 E1B protein of 21 kDa (E1B-21kD), also called E1B-19kD) and Bcl-2 could inhibit apoptin-induced apoptosis in human tumor cell lines and compared this with p53-induced apoptosis. E1B-21kD, but not Bcl-2 was found to inhibit apoptin-induced apoptosis in the osteosarcoma cell lines U2OS and Saos-2. However, neither expression of E1B-21kD nor of Bcl-2 resulted in inhibition of apoptin-induced apoptosis in Hep3B hepatoma cells and kidney rhabdoid tumor G401 cells. Both Bcl-2 and Ad5 E1B-21kD were able to inhibit p53-induced apoptosis in the human tumor cell lines Saos-2 and Hep3B. In Saos-2 and U2OS, but not in Hep3B and G401, expression of E1B-21kD leads to retention of apoptin in the cytoplasm, in that way preventing its nuclear function. These results indicate that proteins inhibiting the p53-induced apoptotic pathway do not block apoptin-induced apoptosis or do so only in a cell type-specific manner. The apoptin-induced apoptotic pathway is distinct from that induced by p53 and, therefore, apoptin is a potential antitumor agent.

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
