The dynamic interplay between pro-death and pro-survival Bcl-2 family proteins is responsible for a cell’s fate. Due to the recognized relevance of this family in cancer progression and response to therapy, different efforts have made in recent years in ...

Significance of Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 immunostaining in B-Non Hodgkin's lymphoma
The determination of prognosis for B-Non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is known to be related to the multiple differences in tumor cell biology. Bcl-2 and Bcl-6 are two markers linked to germinal center B cells.

Análise da correlação entre a expressão da p53 e do bcl-2 com o estadiamento e o prognóstico do adenocarcinoma colorretal [PDF]
PURPOSE: To analyze the correlation between p53 and bcl-2 expression and colorectal adenocarcinoma staging and prognosis. METHODS: This was a retrospective series of 125 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients (67 women and 58 men; ages 30-87 years) who ...

BCL-W has a fundamental role in B cell survival and lymphomagenesis. [PDF]
Compromised apoptotic signaling is a prerequisite for tumorigenesis. The design of effective therapies for cancer treatment depends on a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that govern cell survival.

Killing of Sarcoma Cells by Proapoptotic Bcl-XS: Role of the BH3 Domain and Regulation by Bcl-XL
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common tumor affecting AIDS patients with over 20% of these patients afflicted by this disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that KS tumor cells predominantly express the prosurvival protein Bcl-XL compared with ...

Bad expression influences time to androgen escape in prostate cancer [PDF]
<b>OBJECTIVE</b>: To assess the role of selected downstream Bcl-2 family members (Bad, Bax, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL) in the development of androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC), as androgen-deprivation therapy is the treatment of choice in ...

Differential dependence on Beclin 1 for the regulation of pro-survival autophagy by Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL in HCT116 colorectal cancer cells. [PDF]
Autophagy is described to be involved in homeostasis, development and disease, both as a survival and a death process. Its involvement in cell death proceeds from interrelationships with the apoptotic pathway.

Identification of a novel BCL2-specific inhibitor that binds predominantly to the BH1 domain [PDF]
The antiapoptotic protein BCL 2 is overexpressed in several cancers and contributes to prolonged cell survival and chemoresistance, lending itself as an excellent target for cancer therapy.

Degradation of Bcl-2 by XIAP and ARTS Promotes Apoptosis
Summary: We describe a mechanism by which the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein is downregulated to induce apoptosis. ARTS (Sept4_i2) is a tumor suppressor protein that promotes cell death through specifically antagonizing XIAP (X-linked ...

Bcl-2 Modulates Telomerase Activity [PDF]
Apoptosis is a physiological mechanism of cell death that plays an important role in the regulation of tissue homeostasis. The regulation of apoptosis is a complex process and involves a number of gene products including the survival factor Bcl-2, which has been found to be frequently deregulated in human cancers.
