Disease relevance of Bcl2l11

 

High impact information on Bcl2l11

  • Intracellular iron delivery blocks Bim induction and suppresses apoptosis due to 24p3 addition or IL-3 deprivation [6].
  • TCR ligation upregulated Bim expression and promoted interaction of Bim with Bcl-XL, inhibiting its survival function [7].
  • Thus, at least two mammalian BH3-only proteins, Bmf and Bim, function to sense intracellular damage by their localization to distinct cytoskeletal structures [8].
  • Proapoptotic Bcl-2 relative Bim required for certain apoptotic responses, leukocyte homeostasis, and to preclude autoimmunity [9].
  • Thus, Bim is required for hematopoietic homeostasis and as a barrier to autoimmunity [9].

Associations of Bcl2l11 with chemical compounds

  • BH3-only proteins such as Bim, which are distant proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family, are essential initiators of programmed cell death and stress-induced apoptosis [18].
  • Moreover, small interfering RNA that reduces the expression level of Bim effectively rescues CML cells from apoptosis caused by imatinib [1].
  • In contrast, those cells isolated from our previously established CML model mice resist apoptosis in cytokine-free medium without the induction of Bim expression, and these effects are reversed by the Abl-specific kinase inhibitor imatinib mesylate [1].
  • These results implicate BH3-only proteins, in particular both Bik and Bim, as important mediators of the antitumor action of bortezomib and establish their role in its enhancement of TRAIL-induced apoptosis [2].
  • Here we tested the involvement of Bim in the rapid anoikis response of mouse mammary epithelial cells and discovered that Bim does not have a role in detecting integrin-mediated signals [19].

Other interactions of Bcl2l11

  • Consistent with this prediction, truncation of this short helix was required for Bim/Bax interaction and led to spontaneous activation of Bax [15].
  • Loss of Bim allows precursor B cell survival but not precursor B cell differentiation in the absence of interleukin 7 [16].
  • Loss of Bim increases T cell production and function in interleukin 7 receptor-deficient mice [18].
  • These data suggest an essential overlapping role for Bak or Bax and Bim in the intrinsic apoptotic pathway [25].
  • To investigate whether functional redundancy with Bim might obscure a significant role for Bik, we generated mice lacking both genes [12].
