Abstract

Rapid ventricular pacing in dogs is characterized by a dilated myopathy in which myocyte cell death by apoptosis may play a significant role in the impairment of cardiac pump function. However, the molecular mechanisms implicated in the modulation of programmed cell death under this setting remain to be identified. Moreover, questions have been raised on the specificity and sensitivity of the histochemical detection of DNA strand breaks in nuclei by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) reaction. Changes in the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax and their transcriptional regulator, p53, were determined by Western blot analysis in myocytes isolated from dogs affected by pacing-induced heart failure. A mobility shift assay for p53 binding activity was also performed. In addition, apoptosis was measured by confocal microscopy, which allowed the simultaneous detection of chromatin alterations and DNA damage. p53 DNA binding activity to the bax promoter was increased in nuclear extracts from myocytes obtained from failing hearts, and this response was associated with enhanced expression of Bax protein, 52%, and attenuation of Bcl-2, -92%. Immunolabeling of p53 in myocyte nuclei, measured by confocal microscopy, was 100% higher in...Continue Reading

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.
