1. Crucial Residues Modulating Interface of hBcl-B - hBaxBH3 Heterodimer as Probed by Computational Methods
ABSTRACT Cancerous cells develop resistance to cell death by over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, which are specific to interact with pro-apoptotic and BH3-only proteins of Bcl-2 family. Delineating crucial residues mediating the heterodimer complexes (anti-apoptotic proteins - pro-apoptotic/BH3-only proteins) is indispensable to develop specific anta

2. Aqueous extract of Huang-lian induces apoptosis in lung cancer cells via P53- mediated mitochondrial apoptosis
The current study was designed to evaluate the activity of the aqueous extract of Huang-lian, and the main apoptosis pathway induced by the extracts of Huang-lian was detected on lung cancer. Antiproliferactive activity was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and TUNEL methods against human lung cancer cells (A549)

3. Aqueous Extract of Terminalia chebula Induces Apoptosis in Lung Cancer Cells Via a Mechanism Involving Mitochondria-mediated Pathways
The current study was designed to evaluate the aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula activity, and the main pathway was detected on lung cancer by extracts of T. chebula. Aqueous extract of T. chebula was separated using a zeolite, and five fractions of T. chebula extract were obtained and analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Antiprol

4. Análise da participação das proteínas Bax e Bcl-2 em células endoteliais humanas durante a evolução da infecção por taquizoítos de Toxoplasma gondii. / Analysis of the involvement of the proteins bax and BCl-2 in human endothelialcells during the curse of infectionof Toxoplasma godii
A toxoplasmose é uma zoonose amplamente distribuída que afeta mais de um terço da população mundial e de grande importância na saúde pública. A maioria das infecções em humanos por Toxoplasma gondii é assintomática. Entretanto, nos últimos anos, a toxoplasmose tem sido amplamente investigada uma vez que se apresenta como uma das doenças oportun

5. Evolutionary origins of human apoptosis and genome-stability gene networks
Apoptosis is essential for complex multicellular organisms and its failure is associated with genome instability and cancer. Interactions between apoptosis and genome-maintenance mechanisms have been extensively documented and include transactivation-independent and -dependent functions, in which the tumor-suppressor protein p53 works as a ‘molecular node�

6. Bcl-2 family proteins expression (Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Bax, Bak, Bad) in gastric cancer tissue prepared in tissue microarray (TMA) / Imuno-expressão das proteínas da família BCL-2 (BCL-2. BCL-XL, BAX, BAK, BAD) em câncer gátrico, preparados em arranjo em matriz (TMA).
Purpose: To study the immunoexpression of Bcl-2 family proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Bax, Bak, Bad) and to evaluate the correlation between the immunoexpression of these proteins with the cleaved caspases 3, Ki-67 and p53 immuno-expression. Methods: A TMA paraffin block was constructed with gastric carcinoma tissue (test group) and normal gastric adjoining mucosa

7. Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) effects over pancreatic islets function and survival / Efeitos do Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) sobre a função e sobrevivencia de ilhotas pancreaticas
Introduction: CNTF belongs to the IL-6 cytokine family and as such, it signals through gp130 receptor complex, activating many pathways depending on the cell-type, mainly STAT3, MAPK and PI3K. Its effects include increased neuron differentiation and/or survival, and are differentially expressed throughout the animal life. Meanwhile, pancreatic islets are ric

8. Morphological and functional characterizations of Schwann cells stimulated with Mycobacterium leprae
Nerve damage, a characteristic of leprosy, is the cause of patient deformities and a consequence of Schwann cells (SC) infection by Mycobacterium leprae. Although function/dysfunction of SC in human diseases like leprosy is difficult to study, many in vitro models, including SC lines derived from rat and/or human Schwannomas, have been employed. ST88-14 is o

9. Avaliação da expressão de genes e proteínas anti- e pró-apoptóticos em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 e esclerose múltipla submetidos ao transplante autólogo de células-tronco hematopoéticas / Evaluation of anti and proapoptotic gene and protein expression in type 1 diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis patients submitted to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are inflammatory, organ-specific autoimmune diseases characterized by selective destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic -cells and central nervous system, respectively, by autoreactive B and T cells. Deregulation of apoptotic machinery is supposed to contribute to self-tolerance breakdown and au

10. Microarray analysis of gene expression in the inflammatory T cell response and apoptosis pathways of periodontitis and non-periodontitis sites / Análise por Microarray da expressão genética de mecanismos relacionados à apoptose, resposta de células T e inflamação em sítios com e sem periodontite.
It is widely believed that pathogenic bacteria provide the initial trigger in periodontal disease. However, the exact pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the progression of periodontal disease remain unclear. Moreover, the biologic basis dictating the susceptibility to disease has not been elucidated. Therefore, the present study sought to investigate the

11. ROLE OF Bcl-2 AND Bcl-XL IN ANGIOGENESIS
(...)Angiogenesis is defined as the development of new capillaries from pre-existing blood vessels. The hypothesis that tumor growth is angiogenesis dependent was proposed by Judah Folkman in 1971, and it has been confirmed by many investigators thereafter. We have shown that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces Bcl-2 expression in endothelial c

12. 14-3-3 proteins in apoptosis
The once obscure members of the 14-3-3 protein family play significant roles in the determination of cell fate. By inhibiting the pro-apoptotic BAD (Bcl-2-antagonist of cell death) and the transcription factor FKHRL-1, 14-3-3 displays important anti-apoptotic characteristics. To date, five points of interaction of 14-3-3 with the apoptotic machinery have bee
