N-myc augments death and attenuates protective effects of Bcl-2 in trophically stressed neuroblastoma cells

Abstract

N-myc has proapoptotic functions, yet it acts as an oncogene in neuroblastoma. Thus, antiapoptotic mechanisms have to be operative in neuroblastoma cells that antagonize the proapoptotic effects of N-myc. We conditionally activated N-myc in SH-EP neuroblastoma cells subjected to the trophic stress of serum or nutrient deprivation while changing the expression of Bcl-2, survivin and FLIP(L), antiapoptotic molecules often overexpressed in poor prognosis neuroblastomas. Bcl-2 protected SH-EP cells from death during nutritional deprivation by activating energetically advantageous oxidative phosphorylation. N-myc overrode the metabolic protection provided by Bcl-2-induced oxidative phosphorylation by reestablishing the glycolytic phenotype and attenuated the antiapoptotic effect of Bcl-2 during metabolic stress. Survivin partially antagonized the growth suppressive function of N-myc in SH-EP neuroblastoma cells during serum deprivation whereas FLIP(L) did not. These findings advance our understanding of the functions of N-myc in neuroblastoma cells.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

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.
