Phosphorylation of Bcl2 and regulation of apoptosis [PDF]
Members of the Bcl2 family of proteins are important regulators of programmed cell death pathways with individual members that can suppress (eg Bcl2, Bcl-XL) or promote (eg Bax, Bad) apoptosis. While the mechanism(s) of Bcl2's anti-apoptotic function is not yet clear, introduction of Bcl2 into most eukaryotic cell types will protect the recipient cell ...

Lack of expression of TUBB3 characterizes both BCL2-positive and BCL2-negative follicular lymphoma [PDF]
Follicular lymphoma is characterized by aberrant BCL2 expression, a feature that is exploited for diagnostic purposes. However, a certain percentage of follicular lymphomas might be BCL2-negative by immunohistochemistry, increasing the difficulties in differentiating them from follicular hyperplasia.

Venetoclax inhibits autophagy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
Venetoclax (VCX) is a BCL2 inhibitor approved for treating B cell-derived leukemia, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). VCX’s role in apoptosis induction is well-defined, whereas its other mechanistic roles need to be clarified. Autophagy is an

Inverting the BTK-BCL2 order [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Lin et al report the first long-term follow-up data showing that Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi's) are effective in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) after previous progression on venetoclax.

BCL2 Regulates Differentiation of Intestinal Fibroblasts [PDF]
Fibrosis in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) results from an imbalance toward excessive fibrous tissue formation driven by fibroblasts. Activation of fibroblasts is linked to the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) family, which is involved in the induction of apoptosis.

BCL2 regulates neural differentiation. [PDF]
A main function attributed to the BCL2 protein is its ability to confer resistance against apoptosis. In addition to the constitutively high expression of BCL2, caused by gene rearrangement in follicular lymphomas, elevated expression of the BCL2 gene has been found in differentiating hematopoietic, neural, and epithelial tissues.

Bcl2 negatively regulates Protective Immune Responses During Mycobacterial Infection
We previously reported that M. tb on its own as well as together with HIV inhibits macrophage apoptosis by upregulating the expression of Bcl2 and Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP).

BCL2 genotypes and prostate cancer survival [PDF]
The antiapoptotic B‑cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) gene is a key player in cancer development and progression. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (c.-938C>A, rs2279115) in the inhibitory P2 BCL2 gene promoter has been associated with clinical outcomes in various types of cancer. Aim of the present study was to analyze the role of BCL2-938C>A genotypes

Scutellarein apoptosis mediated by mitochondria in oral squamous cell carcinomas
Background: The growth of several cancers can be inhibited by naturally occurring medicinal plants. A flavone called Scutellarein found in the perennial herb Scutellaria lateriflora does have a wide range of biological functions. Scutellarein was studied

Bcl2 is an independent prognostic marker of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and predicts response to anthracycline combination (ATC) chemotherapy (CT) in adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings [PDF]
Background: TNBC represents a heterogeneous subgroup of BC with poor prognosis and frequently resistant to CT. Material and methods: The relationship between Bcl2 immunohistochemical protein expression and clinicopathological outcomes was assessed in 736
