PURPOSE Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) is rapidly growing in incidence. Despite better prognosis than OPSCC associated with traditional risk factors, treatment failure still occurs in a significant proportion of patients. We had identified the antiapoptotic protein Bcl2 as a marker for poor outcome in advanced OPSCC treated with concurr...
Kit/SCF signaling and Mitf-dependent transcription are both essential for melanocyte development and pigmentation. To identify Mitf-dependent Kit transcriptional targets in primary melanocytes, microarray studies were undertaken. Among identified targets was BCL2, whose germline deletion produces melanocyte loss and which exhibited phenotypic synergy with Mitf in mice. BCL2's regulation by Mitf...
The decision phase of apoptosis is mainly regulated by the Bcl-2 family, which renders these proteins potential targets for cancer therapy through apoptotic mechanisms. Bcl2 family members have homology clustered within four conserved Bcl2 homology (BH) domains (BH1, BH2, BH3 and BH4). Only the antiapoptotic proteins, such as Bcl2, Bcl-XL, Bcl-w and A1, bear the NH 2-terminal BH4 domain [1]. Mc...
BCL2 suppresses apoptosis by binding the BH3 domain of proapoptotic factors and thereby regulating outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Many tumor types, including B-cell lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, are dependent on BCL2 for survival but become resistant to apoptosis after treatment. Here, we identified a direct interaction between the antiapoptotic protein BCL2 and th...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common human leukemia and is characterized by predominantly nondividing malignant B cells overexpressing the antiapoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2) protein. miR-15a and miR-16-1 are deleted or down-regulated in the majority of CLLs. Here, we demonstrate that miR-15a and miR-16-1 expression is inversely correlated to Bcl2 expression in CLL and that ...
The BCL2 gene product has been demonstrated to prevent apoptosis and provide a selective growth advantage to many cell types. We report an unexpected effect of bcl2 expression on the in vitro growth of several solid tumor cell lines. Expression of bcl2 in these cell lines resulted in growth inhibition similar to that seen with p53. In contrast, a COOH-terminal deletion mutant of bcl2 was unable...
BACKGROUND Bcl2 is an important prognostic parameter in human breast cancer. However, the evaluation of Bcl2 expression by immunohistochemistry is carried out using arbitrary scoring criteria. In the present study, we evaluated the clinical relevance of a novel, semiquantitative classification of the Bcl2 immunostaining based on both the distribution and the intensity of the staining reaction. ...
Bcl2 subfamily proteins, including Bcl2 and Bcl-X(L), inhibit apoptosis. As osteoblast apoptosis is in part responsible for osteoporosis in sex steroid deficiency, glucocorticoid excess, and aging, bone loss might be inhibited by the upregulation of Bcl2; however, the effects of Bcl2 overexpression on osteoblast differentiation and bone development and maintenance have not been fully investigat...
Background and Objective: Approximately half of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are cured with current chemotherapy regimens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Bax and Bcl2 expression and their relationship with the response to chemotherapy. Materials and Methods This study was a prospective analysis on 44 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Their specimens we...
High-level BCL2 expression is seen in most patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the absence of BCL2 chromosomal translocation. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; -938C>A) within an inhibitory region of the BCL2 promoter has been reported to regulate BCL2 protein expression and to be associated with adverse prognostic features in CLL. We screened 276 patients with CLL for this...
