Abstract

Elevated serum concentrations of the hormone gastrin are associated with the development of gastric carcinoid tumors, but the mechanisms of tumor development are not fully understood. We hypothesized that the antiapoptotic effects of gastrin may be implicated and have therefore investigated the role of antiapoptotic members of the bcl-2 family of proteins. AGS-G(R) human gastric carcinoma cells stably transfected with the CCK-2 receptor were used to assess changes in the expression of bcl-2 family members following gastrin treatment and the function of mcl-1 during apoptosis was investigated by use of small-interfering RNA (siRNA). Treatment of AGS-G(R) cells with 10 nM gastrin for 6 h caused maximally increased mcl-1 protein abundance. Gastrin-induced mcl-1 expression was inhibited by the transcription inhibitor actinomycin D and by the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. Downstream signaling of mcl-1 expression occurred via the CCK-2 receptor, protein kinase C, and MAP kinase pathways, but not via PI 3-kinase. Transfection with mcl-1 siRNA significantly suppressed mcl-1 protein expression and abolished the antiapoptotic effects of gastrin on serum starvation-induced apoptosis. Mcl-1 protein expression was also specific...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

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.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

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
