The role of Bcl-2 family member BNIP3 in cell death and disease: NIPping at the heels of cell death.

Cell Death and Differentiation
T R Burton, S B Gibson

Abstract

Bcl-2 nineteen-kilodalton interacting protein (BNIP3) is a BH-3-only Bcl-2 family member whose expression levels increase during stress such as hypoxia through hypoxia-inducing factor-1-dependent or -independent mechanisms. When BNIP3 expression is induced, it localizes to the mitochondria and triggers a loss of membrane potential, and an increase in the reactive oxygen species production, which often leads to cell death. Cells under normal growth conditions suppress BNIP3 expression through transcriptional repression. There is considerable debate in the literature regarding what type of cell death is induced by BNIP3. It has been observed that BNIP3 could induce necrosis, autophagy and/or apoptosis. In contrast, other studies indicate that BNIP3 could promote cell survival. Besides its cell death regulation, BNIP3 plays a key role in the pathogenicity of many diseases. In cardiac infarction, loss of BNIP3 expression has been shown to reduce the number of damaged cardiomyocytes after ischemia and reperfusion. BNIP3 expression also plays an important role in the deregulation of cell death in many cancers. In this review, we will discuss the different and often contradictory mechanisms of BNIP3 regulation of cell death and the ro...Continue Reading

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Autophagy & Disease

Autophagy is an important cellular process for normal physiology and both elevated and decreased levels of autophagy are associated with disease. 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.

Parkinson's Disease & Autophagy (MDS)

Autophagy leads to degradation of damaged proteins and organelles by the lysosome. Impaired autophagy has been implicated in several diseases. Here is the role of autophagy in Parkinson’s disease.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

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
