Journal ArticleDOI

The BH3-only protein Puma plays an essential role in cytokine deprivation-induced apoptosis of mast cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Puma is critical for the induction of mast-cell death following cytokine deprivation and treatment with the DNA-damaging agent etoposide in MLMCs and CTLMCs, and suggested a plausible role for Puma in the regulation of mast cell numbers in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrahepatic murine CD8 T cell activation associates with a distinct phenotype leading to Bim-dependent death

TL;DR: This study identifies Bim for the first time as a critical initiator of T-cell death in the liver, and strategies inhibiting the up-regulation of this molecule could potentially be used to rescue CD8 T cells, clear the virus, and reverse the outcome of viral chronic infections affecting the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proapoptotic BH3-only protein Bim is essential for developmentally programmed death of germinal center-derived memory B cells and antibody-forming cells

TL;DR: This study has identified for the first time the physiologic mechanisms for killing low-affinity antibody-expressing B cells in an immune response and has shown this to be dependent on the BH3-only protein Bim.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose Induces Pancreatic Islet Cell Apoptosis That Requires the BH3-Only Proteins Bim and Puma and Multi-BH Domain Protein Bax

TL;DR: These results implicate the Bcl-2 regulated apoptotic pathway in glucose-induced islet cell killing and indicate points in the pathway at which interventional strategies can be designed.
