Knockdown of interleukin-6 plays a neuroprotective role against hypoxia-ischemia in neonatal rats via inhibition of caspase 3 and Bcl-2-associated X protein signaling pathway. [PDF]
Ibrain, 2022 AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the role of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in the pathogenesis of neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic encephalopathy (NHIE). Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats were used for the establishment of hypoxic‐ischemic (HI) model. The Zea‐Longa scoring was used to evaluate the extent of the neurological deficits.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG1 mediates neuronal damage in Parkinson's disease model cells by regulating miR-216a-3p/Bcl-2-associated X protein. [PDF]
Ann Transl Med, 2021 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common central nervous system degenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. Our study aimed to illuminate the relationship and mechanism of long-chain non-coding RNA SNHG1 and miRNA (miR)-216a-3p in PD.Human neuroblastoma cell lines were treated with MPP+ to construct a PD model.

Diazepam ameliorated myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury via inhibition of C-C chemokine receptor type 2/tumor necrosis factor-alpha/interleukins and Bcl-2-associated X protein/caspase-3 pathways in experimental rats. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2021 Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the most leading concerns for public health globally. Diazepam, a local anesthetic, has been reported for its cardioprotective potential. The present investigation aimed to evaluate the possible mechanism of action of diazepam against left anterior descending ligation-induced myocardial IRI in ...

Isolation of Synthetic Antibodies Against BCL-2-Associated X Protein (BAX). [PDF]
Methods Mol Biol, 2019 The BCL-2 protein family plays central roles in the mitochondrial pathway of cell apoptosis. The BCL-2-Associated X protein (BAX), along with other proapoptotic proteins, induces cell death in response to a variety of stress stimuli. Upon receipt of killing signals, cytosolic BAX is activated and translocates to mitochondria where it causes ...

Synthetic Antibodies Inhibit Bcl-2-associated X Protein (BAX) through Blockade of the N-terminal Activation Site. [PDF]
J Biol Chem, 2016 The BCL-2 protein family plays a critical role in regulating cellular commitment to mitochondrial apoptosis. Pro-apoptotic Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) is an executioner protein of the BCL-2 family that represents the gateway to mitochondrial apoptosis.

In vitro Evaluation of Cytotoxic Effects of Methanolic Leaf Extracts of Annona muricata on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma-15 Cell Lines and its Effect On Expression of Bcl 2-associated X protein, B-cell C/Lymphoma 2 and p53 Genes. [PDF]
Contemp Clin Dent, 2023 Abstract Background: Due to their wide spectrum of phytochemical components and lack of side effects, the use of plants for the prevention and treatment of cancer has recently attracted increased attention. One among them is Annona muricata, commonly called soursop. According to recent investigations, several types of

The Chinese herb Prunella vulgaris promotes apoptosis in human well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma cells via the B-cell lymphoma-2/Bcl-2-associated X protein/caspase-3 signaling pathway. [PDF]
Oncol Lett, 2017 Prunella vulgaris (PV), a traditional Chinese herb, has been shown to be rich in bioactive chemicals and possess anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on tumor cells. The effect of PV on human well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC), which accounts for the majority of common endocrine malignancies, remains to be elucidated.

Screening of BCL-2 associated X protein gene polymorphism associated with scrotal hernia in domesticated swine using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. [PDF]
Asian-Australas J Anim Sci, 2017 Objective This study was conducted to screen scrotal hernia in domesticated swine from selected breeders in the Philippines. This defect is associated with a cytosine to thymine mutation in the BCL-2 associated X protein (BAX) gene of swine. Methods Genetic screening was done by DNA extraction followed by amplification and digestion using polymerase ...

Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1 interacts with fragile X-related protein 1 [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2014 The absence of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) causes fragile X syndrome (FXS), which is the leading cause of hereditary mental retardation. Fragile X-related protein 1 (FXR1P), which plays an important role in normal muscle development, is one of the two autosomal paralogs of FMRP.
