Resistance to apoptosis plays an important role in tumors that are refractory to chemotherapy and ionizing radiation ( IR ) . bax , which forms a heterodimer with bcl 2 and accelerates apoptosis , is not , or only weakly , expressed in most human breast cancer cells , and weak bax expression is considered to be related to the resistance of breast cancer cells to apoptosis . bax expression vector was introduced to human breast cancer MCF 7 cells , which exhibit weak expression of bax , to demonstrate its role of modulating radiation induced apoptosis . bax overexpression in MCF 7 cells by stable transfection does not affect viability by itself , but each stable transfectant was more sensitive to IR than the parental MCF 7 cells . ^^^ IR upregulated p 53 and p21WAF1 about 5 to 10 fold and downregulated bcl 2 and bcl XL by 80 90 % at 6 hr in both parent and bax stably transfected MCF 7 cells to the same degree . ^^^

We explored whether the putative channel forming fifth and sixth alpha helices of Bcl 2 and Bax account for Bcl 2 mediated cell survival and Bax induced cell death in mammalian cells and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . ^^^ When alpha 5 alpha6 were either deleted or swapped with each other , the Bcl 2Deltaalpha5alpha6 deletion mutant and Bcl 2 Bax ( alpha5alpha6 ) chimeric protein failed to block apoptosis induced by either Bax or staurosporine in human cells and were unable to prevent Bax induced cell death in yeast , implying that the alpha 5 alpha6 region of Bcl 2 is essential for its cytoprotective function . ^^^ BaxDeltaalpha5alpha6 and Bax Bcl 2 ( alpha5alpha6 ) also retained the ability to dimerize with Bcl 2 . ^^^ Bax therefore may have redundant mechanisms for inducing apoptosis in mammalian cells , based on its ability to form alpha 5 alpha6 dependent channels in membranes and to dimerize with and antagonize anti apoptotic proteins such as Bcl 2 . . ^^^

In this report , we show that the opposing actions of MR and GR on neuronal survival result from their ability to differentially influence the expression of members of the bcl 2 gene family ; specifically , in the rat hippocampus , activation of GR induces cell death by increasing the ratio of the proapoptotic molecule Bax relative to the antiapoptotic molecules Bcl 2 or Bcl 10 ( L ) ; the opposite effect is observed after stimulation of MR . ^^^ In addition , we show that GR activation increases and MR activation decreases levels of the tumor suppressor protein p 53 ( a direct transcriptional regulator of bax and bcl 2 genes ) , thus providing new information on the early genetic events linking corticosteroid receptors with apoptosis in the nervous system . . ^^^

After treatment with oridonin for 48 hr , the percentage of disruption of delta psi m gradually increased in a dose dependent manner along with marked changes of cell apoptosis , and necrotic cells increased remarkably after the cells were treated with oridonin for 72 hr ; Western blotting showed cleavage of the caspase 3 zymogen protein ( 32 kDa ) with the appearance of its 20 kDa subunit when apoptosis occurred ; expression of Bcl 2 and Bcl XL was downregulated remarkably while expression of Bax and Bid was upregulated concurrently after the cells were treated with oridonin for 24 hr . ^^^ We therefore conclude that oridonin has significant antiproliferation effects on HPB ALL cells by induction of apoptosis as well as directly causing cell necrosis and that oridonin induced apoptosis on HPB ALL cells is mainly related to the disruption of delta psi m and activation of caspase 3 as well as downregulation of anti apoptotic protein Bcl 2 , Bcl XL , and upregulation of pro apoptotic proteins Bax and Bid . ^^^
