Background Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide. Anti-apoptotic activity of cancer cells is considered the main reason for drug resistance in BC which reduces the 5-year survival rate of patients and is still ...

Structures of p53/BCL-2 complex suggest a mechanism for p53 to antagonize BCL-2 activity
Mitochondrial apoptosis is strictly controlled by BCL-2 family proteins through a subtle network of protein interactions. The tumor suppressor protein p53 triggers transcription-independent apoptosis through direct interactions with BCL-2 family proteins,

Beyond cell death - antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins regulate migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells in vitro. [PDF]
Migration and invasion of malignant cells are prerequisites for cancer progression and metastasis. The Bcl-2 family of proteins consists of about 25 members and has been extensively studied in the context of apoptosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the most rapidly evolving cancers in the Western world. The majority of HCCs develop on the basis of a chronic inflammatory liver damage that predisposes liver cancer development and leads to deregulation of ...

The p53–Bcl-2 connection [PDF]
The tumor suppressor p53 and the proto-oncogene Bcl-2 were two of the earliest identified cancer genes. Mutant p53 proteins were first discovered in transformed murine cell lines,1,2 whereas Bcl-2 translocations were first identified in human follicular lymphoma.3,4,5 Despite this shared cancer relevance, they were initially thought to have little else

Evaluation of Bcl 2 and Ki 67 expression in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia .
Background :Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a low-grade B-lineage lymphoid malignancy. Both Ki-67 which is a large nuclear protein associated with cell proliferation and Bcl-2 which is an anti-apoptotic protein which is associated with ...

BCL-2 family proteins regulate apoptotic cell death. BCL-2 proteins localize to intracellular membranes such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and some family members translocate from the cytoplasm to mitochondria following a cell death stimulus.

Recent findings from our laboratory provide the first indication that overexpression of Bcl-2 in Eµ-myc transgenic cells enhances tumor immunosurveillance by inducing NKG2D ligands. Initial evidence suggests that this model is relevant to human patients. Thus, antitumor therapies that target Bcl-2 harbor the risk of reducing tumor immunogenicity.
