Induction of apoptosis and of interleukin-1beta secretion by 7beta-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol: partial inhibition by Bcl-2 overexpression

FEBS Letters

Abstract

The oxysterols, 7beta-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol, are involved in the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL. To elucidate their molecular mechanisms, the human promonocytic leukemia cells U937 and U4 were used. U4 cells overexpressing Bcl-2 were obtained by transfection of U937 cells. 7Beta-hydroxycholesterol and 7-ketocholesterol induced nuclear condensation and/or fragmentation, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, and IL-1beta secretion, which were partially inhibited by Bcl-2 overexpression. These findings underline that these oxysterols could constitute major risk factors in atherosclerosis by their cytotoxicity and their ability to induce IL-1beta release which might favor the recruitment of immunocompetent cells in the atherosclerotic plaque.

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

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
