Disease relevance of BCL2L11

 

High impact information on BCL2L11

 

Chemical compound and disease context of BCL2L11

  • Regulation of the proapoptotic BH3-only protein BIM by glucocorticoids, survival signals and proteasome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells [9].
  • Cell hybrids (BIM) were produced between human neuroblastoma cells (IMR-32) and thymidine auxotrophs (B3T) of rat nerve-like cells (B103) in order to obtain cell lines undergoing stable neuronal differentiation [10].
  • This study was carried out to compare the effects of two GnRH analogs (the agonist Decapeptyl and the antagonist BIM 21009C) and the antiestrogen 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (OH-TAM) on proliferation in antiestrogen-responsive or antiestrogen-resistant human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MCF-7 LY2) [11].
  • Analogues of ACTH-(4-9) (Org 2766) and ACTH-(4-10) (BIM 22015) are capable of sustaining neurite outgrowth from cultured dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord cells in the absence of nerve growth factor [12].
  • Each age group of rats was subdivided in three group (i) acute heat stress - subjected to a single exposure for 4 h in the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) incubator at 38 degrees C; (ii) chronic heat stress - exposed for 21 days daily for 1 h in the incubator at 38 degrees C, and (iii) handling control groups [13].
 

Biological context of BCL2L11

 

Anatomical context of BCL2L11

  • Interestingly, Bimgamma mRNA, similar to the BimEL protein, is up-regulated in the majority of the prostate cancer cell lines studied, whereas several other proapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, including Bax, Bak, and Bad, are down-regulated in prostate cancer cells [2].
  • Interestingly, native Bax is attached loosely on the surface of isolated mitochondria, which undergoes conformational change and insertion into mitochondrial membrane upon stimulation by BimEL, Bak-BH3 peptide, or freeze/thaw damage [17].
  • Taken together, these findings indicate that BimEL may activate Bax by damaging the mitochondrial membrane structure directly, in addition to its binding and antagonizing Bcl-2/Bcl-XL function [17].
  • Subcellular fractionation experiments show that the Bim mutant M1DeltaC is localized in the cytosol, indicating that both the C-terminal hydrophobic region and the BH3 domain are required for the mitochondrial targeting and pro-apoptotic activity of BimEL [17].
  • JNK inhibitory kinase is up-regulated in retinal ganglion cells after axotomy and enhances BimEL expression level in neuronal cells [18].
 

Associations of BCL2L11 with chemical compounds

  • The activation of Raf was increased either by the phorbol ester-induced activation of protein kinase C (PKC) or by the addition of the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I (BIM) [19].
  • Treatment of cells with the garlic compound diallyl disulphide had similar effects on BimEL [20].
  • The EGF receptor expression was reduced by 30% in cells treated with PYY/5-FU/leucovorin and by 45% in cells treated with BIM/5-FU/leucovorin as compared with control cells without treatment [21].
  • We found that activation of p75NTR induced the JNK-dependent phosphorylation of endogenous BimEL at serine 65 in cells [22].
  • The expression of MEX promoted apoptosis that was induced through Fas, DR (death receptor) 3 and DR4 signalling, but not that mediated by the BH3 (Bcl-2 homology 3)-only protein BimEL or the chemotherapeutic drug adriamycin [23].
  • Upon paclitaxel treatment, RACK1, DLC1, and CIS mediated the degradation of BimEL through the ElonginB/C-Cullin2-CIS ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase complex [24].
 

Enzymatic interactions of BCL2L11

 

Regulatory relationships of BCL2L11

  • Either the activation of PKC with phorbol ester or the addition of BIM to cells growing in serum induced a rapid but transient increase of p53 levels, which preceded growth inhibition [19].
  • The JNK-induced phosphorylation of BimEL at serine 65 promoted the apoptotic effect of BimEL in primary cerebellar granule neurons [22].
  • BimEL is an important determinant for induction of anoikis sensitivity by mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase inhibitors [5].
  • MEK inhibitors also induced the electrophoretic mobility shift of BimEL, indicative of reduced phosphorylation [5].
  • Together, these results support the notion that BIM and tBID follow different strategies to trigger BAX-driven mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization with strong potency [25].
 

Other interactions of BCL2L11

  • OSU-03012 lethality as a single agent or when combined with signaling modulators was not modified in cells lacking expression of BIM or of BAX/BAK [26].
  • Characterization of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase-BimEL signaling pathway in neuronal apoptosis [22].
  • p38 MAP kinase mediates apoptosis through phosphorylation of BimEL at Ser-65 [27].
  • On the other hand, only a weak association of BimEL and L with the dynein LC8 chain has been found [28].
  • On treatment with MEK inhibitors, BimEL in MDA-MB231 and HBC4 cells rapidly increased, irrespective of the state of anchorage [5].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of BCL2L11

  • The cell-killing activity of BOD is also antagonized in cells cotransfected with the antiapoptotic Bcl-w protein, which showed high affinity for BOD in the two-hybrid assay [29].
  • In unstimulated cells, BimL protein was complexed with Bcl-x(L) and changed the partner to associate with Bax on the mitochondrial membrane after ligation of BCR, leading to initiation of apoptotic processes [4].
  • Using in vitro protein binding, immunoprecipitation, and coimmunolocalization assays, we demonstrated that HN binds directly to the extra long isoform of Bim (BimEL) but not the long (BimL) or short (BimS) isoforms [30].
  • By Southern blot analysis, BIM cells had both human and rat types of N-myc genes [10].
  • Verapamil or nifedipine (at 50 microM) or 25 nM BIM, but not 25 microM adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate, Rp-isomer, a PKA inhibitor, abolished the PTHrP (107-139)-induced increase in interleukin 6 messenger RNA (assessed by RT, followed by PCR) in UMR 106 cells [31].
