Journal ArticleDOI

BH3-Mimetic Drugs: Blazing the Trail for New Cancer Medicines.

TL;DR: The BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax has been approved for treatment of refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and this drug and inhibitors of pro-survival MCL-1 and B CL-XL are being tested in diverse malignancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The anti-apoptotic activities of Rel and RelA required during B-cell maturation involve the regulation of Bcl-2 expression.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that Rel and RelA serve essential, albeit redundant, functions during the later antigen‐independent stages of B‐ and T‐cell maturation, with these transcription factors promoting the survival of peripheral B cells in part by upregulating Bcl‐2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Puma cooperates with Bim, the rate-limiting BH3-only protein in cell death during lymphocyte development, in apoptosis induction

TL;DR: Hyperplasia of lymphatic organs is comparable with that observed in mice overexpressing Bcl-2 in all hemopoietic cells exceeding the hyperplasia observed in bim−/− mice and Bim and Puma have clearly overlapping functions in p53-dependent and -independent apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two molecular pathways initiate mitochondria-dependent dopaminergic neurodegeneration in experimental Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that the tumor suppressor p53 mediates Bax transcriptional induction after PD-related complex I blockade in vivo, but it does not participate in Bax mitochondrial translocation in this model, either by a transcription-independent mechanism or through the induction of BH3-only proteins Puma or Noxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

bcl-2 transgene expression inhibits apoptosis in the germinal center and reveals differences in the selection of memory B cells and bone marrow antibody-forming cells.

TL;DR: The inability of BCL-2 to alter selection of bone marrow AFCs is consistent with these cells being selected within the germinal center on the basis of their affinity being above some threshold rather than their survival being due to a selective competition for an antigen-based signal.
