Upregulation of Bcl2 inhibits apoptosis-driven BAX insertion but favors BAX relocalization in mitochondria

FEBS Letters
Oscar Teijido, Laurent M Dejean

Abstract

Protein-protein interactions between the Bcl2 family proteins regulate apoptosis. An imbalance of this interaction network due to the upregulation of the proto-oncogene Bcl2 leads to a resistance to apoptosis associated with tumor formation. Bcl2 overexpression inhibits BAX oligomerization and mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization. However, Bcl2 effects on earlier steps of BAX-mediated apoptosis are not fully understood. Bcl2 overexpression inhibits BAX insertion into the MOM but spontaneously increases BAX relocalization to the mitochondria. Also, a physical interaction between BAX and Bcl2 is necessary for these two effects to occur. Taken together, these results suggest upregulated Bcl2 stabilizes BAX loose binding to mitochondrial membranes, inhibiting its insertion into the MOM and consequently cytochrome c release.

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 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
