Abstract

We examined the cytoprotective effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-11 (IL-11) during oxidant injury in neonatal lung and the regulators of cell death in vitro and in vivo after oxidant exposure. Type II cells from day 21 fetal neonatal rat lungs were treated with varying concentrations of either IL-6 or IL-11 for 24 hr prior to exposure to H(2)O(2). Three-day-old transgenic lung-specific IL-11 and IL-6 overexpressing and wild type (WT) mouse pups were exposed to hyperoxia or room air for 3 days. Type II cells exposed to either IL-6 or IL-11 prior to oxidant injury exhibited improved survival compared to controls, 67% +/- 2.6 survivals in IL-6 pretreated cells compared to 48% +/- 1.6 in control; 63% +/- 3 survivals in IL-11 pretreated cells compared to 49% +/- 2.6 in control. The number of TUNEL positive cells in hyperoxia-exposed lungs was increased compared to room air animals (27 +/- 0.9 vs. 4 +/- 0.4; mean +/- SEM; P < 0.05). In contrast, the number of TUNEL positive cells was reduced in hyperoxia-exposed lungs from IL-11 (+) mice (15.2 +/- 2.2; mean +/- SEM; P < 0.05). There was an enhanced accumulation of Bcl-2 and reduction of Bax protein in hyperoxia-exposed IL-11 (+) compared to room air-exposed mice. This wa...Continue Reading

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.
