71 10684857 CD40 ligand (CD154) triggers a short-term CD4(+) T cell activation response that results in secretion of immunomodulatory cytokines and apoptosis.
72 10684857 Signals generated through CD28-B7 and CD40 ligand (CD40L)-CD40 interactions have been shown to be crucial for the induction of long-term allograft survivability.
73 10684857 To investigate potential mechanisms of CD40L-induced allograft acceptance, we coimmobilized hu5C8 with suboptimal amounts of anti-CD3 to stimulate CD4(+) T cells.
74 10684857 We now report that anti-CD3/CD40L costimulation results in CD28-independent activation and subsequent deletion of resting T cells.
75 10684857 Coligation of CD3 and CD40L increased expression of CD69, CD25, and CD54 on CD4(+) T cells.
76 10684857 We also found that costimulation with anti-CD3/CD40L resulted in enhanced production of interleukin (IL)-10, interferon gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha but not IL-2 or IL-6.
77 10684857 Consistent with that observation, anti-CD3/CD40L did not enhance the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.
78 10684857 Further, the addition of CD28 at 24 h failed to rescue those cells induced to die after costimulation with anti-CD3/CD40L.
79 10760214 Expression and localization of p53 and bcl-2 in healing wounds in diabetic and nondiabetic mice.
80 10760214 Another protein, bcl-2, is antagonistic to p53 and prevents apoptosis.
81 10760214 The purpose of this study was to determine the expression and location of p53 and bcl-2 mRNA and protein in healing wounds of normal and genetically diabetic mice.
82 10760214 At various time points, full-thickness skin wounds from nondiabetic and diabetic mice were evaluated for p53 and bcl-2 by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization.
83 10760214 Messenger RNA for p53 and bcl-2 were quantitated by competitive reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
84 10760214 Protein and mRNA for p53 were expressed in the leading edge of migrating epithelium, with apoptosis patterns closely following those of p53 production. p53 mRNA levels decreased soon after wounding, but after a few days, levels increased to greater than baseline. bcl-2 was localized to the wound epithelium, but relative amounts tended to oppose levels of p53, i.e, when p53 increased, bcl-2 decreased and vice versa.
85 10760214 Wounds in diabetic animals showed a delayed onset of p53 mRNA expression but had persistently greater levels for longer periods of time. bcl-2 mRNA expression was further delayed in diabetic mice and did not develop to levels as high as p53.
86 10760214 Our data show that immediately after wounding, bcl-2 increases and p53 decreases to allow for the cellular proliferation that is required for tissue repair.
87 10760214 Over time, bcl-2 levels decrease while p53 levels increase to shut down the inflammatory process and down-regulate the proliferative response.

181 10830283 Hyperexpression of Bcl-2, achieved by stable transfection using a multicopy viral vector containing a bcl-2 complementary DNA in rat insulin-producing RINm5F cells, counteracted both apoptosis and necrosis.
182 10830283 Cytokine-induced cleavage of the caspase-3 substrate poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (which, in other cell types, may occur downstream or independently of a Bcl-2-preventable mitochondrial permeability transition) was observed in control- but neither in bcl-2-transfected cells nor in the presence of the iNOS inhibitor N(G)-methyl-L-arginine.

205 10851311 Vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with collagen replacement of the cavernosal smooth muscle, mediated by an increase in transforming growth factor (TGF)-production secondary to hypoxemia.
206 10851311 We tested the hypothesis that human ED is the result of an increase in apoptosis of the cavernosal smooth muscle cells with replacement by collagen, mediated by the TGFbeta upregulation.
207 10851311 Immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect TGFbeta and Bcl-2 expression, while Western blot analysis was used to detect expression of Bcl-2, p53, and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1a.
208 10851311 In contrast, Western blotting demonstrated upregulation of p53 and HIF-1a expression in the cavernosal tissues from the men with ED and diabetes.
209 10851311 Male ED follows an active process characterized by a loss of TGFb expression, apoptosis, and Bcl-2 expression.

239 11016460 NOD Idd5 locus controls insulitis and diabetes and overlaps the orthologous CTLA4/IDDM12 and NRAMP1 loci in humans.
240 11016460 This locus was designated Idd5 and encompassed candidate genes including Il1r1, Il1r2, Stat1, Stat4, Nramp1, and Bcl2.

244 11044408 Bcl-x is a member of the Bcl2 family and has been suggested to be important for the survival and maturation of various cell types including the erythroid lineage.
245 11044408 The increase in cell death of late erythroid cells is independent from the proapoptotic factor Bax, as demonstrated in conditional double mutant mice for Bcl-x and Bax.
246 11078462 Intact and acutely dissociated neurons from diabetic rats demonstrated decreased Bcl-2 levels and translocation of cytochrome C from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm.
247 11078462 Neither levels of Bax nor levels of Bcl-XL were altered in diabetic neuropathy.
248 11090239 Cell proliferation nuclear antigen (PCNA) was used as a marker of cell proliferation and cells were stained for putative markers of islet neogenesis, cytokeratin 20 (CK20) and Bcl-2.
249 11090239 Most of the insulin(+)clusters were also homeodomain-containing transcription factor pancreas duodenum homeobox gene-1 (PDX-1) positive.
250 11126237 The levels of the cell survival proteins Bcl-2 and neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) have been observed to increase during adipogenesis.
251 11375329 The antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2 was unaffected by glucose change, whereas Bcl-xl was reduced upon treatment with HG5.
252 11375329 On the other hand, proapoptotic genes Bad, Bid, and Bik were overexpressed in the islets maintained in HG5.
253 11375329 Bik and Bcl-xl were expressed in other endocrine islet cells as well as in the exocrine pancreas.
254 11561209 Herein, a focal point is the mitochondrial control of specific death enzymes--so called caspases--by members of the pro-apoptotic Bax and BH3 subfamily or the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 subfamily.
255 11561209 The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are potent proliferation factors and potently inhibit apoptosis acting via the ubiquitously expressed IGF-I receptor.
256 11561209 Within IGF-I receptor signalling, key to the inhibition of apoptosis are the RAS/RAF/mitogen-activated protein (MAP)-kinase pathway and the PI 3'-kinase pathway.
257 11563854 Stimulation of HAECs with gly-ox-HDL elicited a marked increase in caspase 3 activity and the expressions of active caspase 3 and caspase 9, whereas concomitant treatment with a caspase 3 inhibitor significantly blocked gly-ox-HDL-induced apoptosis of HAECs.
258 11563854 The increased expressions of Bax and Bad were detected in HAECs incubated for 24 h with gly-ox-HDL, but gly-ox-HDL failed to interfere with the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x.
259 11731240 In the mammary gland Bcl-x is the most abundant cell survival factor from the Bcl-2 family.
260 11731240 In erythroid cells bcl-x gene expression is controlled by cytokines and the transcription factor Stat5 (signal transducer and activator of transcription).
261 11731240 However, we identified that bcl-x RNA levels in mammary tissue from prolactin receptor- and Stat5-null mice were indistinguishable from wild type mice.
262 11751624 Exposure of rat beta-cells to the combination of IL-1beta plus interferon-gamma causes a time-dependent increase in apoptotic cells starting after 3 d (<10% on d 3 and 28 +/- 2% on d 7).
263 11751624 This effect was preceded by a marked down-regulation of two antiapoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Bax-omega (respectively reduced by 60% and 80% after 3 d), whereas no changes occurred in the expression of Bcl-x(L) and the proapoptotic protein Bax-alpha.
264 11751624 No apoptosis or down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bax-omega proteins was observed with individual cytokines or in the presence of N-methyl-L-arginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase.

268 11797699 Results obtained utilizing a variety of NMR techniques demonstrate the following: (1) Transfection of Rat1 cells with the c-myc oncogene (which may be involved in cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation) and overexpression of Bcl-2 (which may protect cells from stresses such as hypoxia and exposure to cytokines) introduce a wide array of alterations in cellular biochemistry, including changes in anaerobic and oxidative glucose metabolism, as assessed by 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy. (2) Overnight incubation of islets and beta cells in the bottom of centrifuge tubes filled with medium at room temperature, as is sometimes done in islet transportation, exposes them to severe oxygen limitations that may cause cell damage.
269 11812749 A variety of protective genes were upregulated, with markedly increased expression of the antioxidant genes heme oxygenase-1 and glutathione peroxidase and the antiapoptotic gene A20.
270 11812749 Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Mn-SOD were modestly induced, and Bcl-2 was modestly reduced; however, several other stress genes (catalase, heat shock protein 70, and p53) were unaltered.
271 11813268 After 72 h exposure of human pancreatic islets to a cytotoxic cytokine combination of interleukin 1 beta (50 U/ml), tumor necrosis factor alpha (1,000 U/ml), and interferon gamma (1,000 U/ml), an increase of cell death vs. control islets was demonstrated by TUNEL and cell death detection ELISA method.
272 11813268 This effect was correlated with a marked decrease of Bcl-2 mRNA expression (without any major change of Bax mRNA) and a marked increase of inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA.
273 11899074 The delivery of transgenes capable of interfering with antigenic recognition and/or cell death [e.g., Fas ligand (FasL), Bcl-2, Bcl-XL] as well as imparting tolerance/immunoregulation [e.g., interleukin(IL)-4, IL-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta], or cytoprotection [e.g., heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalase, manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD)] may prevent recurrent type 1 diabetes in islet transplantation and offer a promising form of immunotherapy.
274 11978640 RT-PCR studies revealed no major change of iNOS and Bax mRNA expression and a marked decrease of Bcl-2 mRNA expression in the islets cultured with FFA.
275 12145177 High D-glucose significantly increased bax protein, but not bcl-2, and activated caspase 3-like and 9, whereas HGF significantly increased bcl-2 expression without affecting bax level and attenuated the increase in caspase 3 and 9 activity.
276 12145177 Interestingly, high D-glucose resulted in translocation of bax protein from cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane, whereas HGF inhibited the bax translocation.
277 12145177 These findings suggest that HGF can activate bcl-2 expression and inhibit translocation of bax protein upstream of the mitochondria, thereby leading to the inhibition of caspase 3 and 9 activation.
278 12145177 High D-glucose significantly increased bax protein, but not bcl-2, and activated caspase 3-like and 9, whereas HGF significantly increased bcl-2 expression without affecting bax level and attenuated the increase in caspase 3 and 9 activity.

281 12164338 Apoptosis in normal rat embryo tissues during early organogenesis: the possible involvement of Bax and Bcl-2.
282 12164338 In this study, we investigated the relationship between apoptosis and the expression of both Bax and Bcl-2 during the early organogenesis period (9.5-11.5 days of gestation) of rat embryos.
283 12164338 Immunohistochemical studies of Bax and Bcl-2 expression revealed that these apoptotic cells were exactly positive to Bax in mirror sections, while their expression of Bcl-2 was generally too low to be detected.
284 12164338 These results indicate that the Bax and Bcl-2 may be important in regulating the induction of embryonic cell apoptosis during early organogenesis.

297 12200129 Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) has recently been shown to be the most potent inhibitor of angiogenesis in the mammalian eye, suggesting that loss of PEDF is involved in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
298 12200129 Further, PEDF proteins completely restored the down-regulation of bcl-2 gene expression in AGE-exposed pericytes.
299 12242483 Immunohistochemically, small cells are positive for PDX-1, synaptophysin, insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, alpha-fetaprotein and Bcl-2 and negative for cytokeratin 19 and nestin.
300 12370856 In islets cultured for 7 days in the presence of high FFA or for 3 days in the presence of high glucose levels, we observed: (1) a 2- to 3-fold increase of apoptotic cells conjugated with annexin-V FITC and PI; (2) a 4- to 6-fold increase of cytoplasmatic DNA fragments; (3) a 3- to 4-fold increase of caspase 3 activity; and (4) a significant increase of insulin positive apoptotic cells as detected with the TUNEL method.
301 12370856 RT-PCR analysis indicated in islets exposed to high FFA or glucose levels an increase of bax (proapoptotic gene), a reduction of bcl-2 (antiapoptotic gene), and a slight (although not significant) increase in caspase 3 expression.
302 12533681 By immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated increased expression of Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), and bcl-2 on SMG epithelial cells of NOD and NOD-scid mice, as early as 3 days of age. mRNA expression of Fas and FasL was also examined in SMG by RQ-PCR.
303 12533681 Low-level expression of Fas and FasL mRNA was observed in all mouse strains, from 1 day of age onward.
304 12533681 We conclude that increased protein expression of Fas and FasL on SMG epithelial cells of NOD and NOD-scid mice probably indicates a genetically programmed abnormality in these cells that may form a trigger for the development of sialoadenitis in NOD mice.
305 12594237 Therefore, we used early postnatal mouse pancreata from three control strains (C57BL/6, DBA/2, BALB/c) and from two strains with the nonobese diabetic (NOD)-related genetic background (the spontaneous T1D NOD model and the lymphocyte-deficient NODscid strain) to study apoptotic phenomena together with the molecular and immunohistochemical expression of proapoptosis (Fas, FasL) and antiapoptosis (Bcl-2) proteins.
306 12594237 Second, FasL(+), Fas(+), and Bcl-2(+) structures seemed to be associated with innervation, regardless of the strain and age.

309 12606514 In addition, palmitic acid decreased Bcl-2 expression and induced release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into the cytosol, which was prevented by fumonisin B1 and by oleic acid.
310 12658358 The immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR assay showed a higher level of Fas expression and Fas mRNA in the cataracts with DR than in the senile cataracts, although there was no difference in the expression level of the Fas ligand, Bcl-2, and their mRNAs between both groups.
311 12663450 The proapoptotic factor Nix is coexpressed with Bcl-xL during terminal erythroid differentiation.
312 12663450 Our in silico screening strategy indicated that a hypoxia-inducible proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 gene family called Nix is expressed during erythropoiesis.
313 12663450 Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based transcriptional patterning confirmed the increased expression of Nix during human erythropoiesis with a pattern similar to that of Bcl-xL and glycophorin A and opposite that of Bcl-2.
314 12663450 The expression of Nix and Bcl-xL proteins decreased relative to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) control on the removal of erythropoietin (EPO) from the culture medium.

319 12697734 Mice with 50% Pdx1, a homeobox gene critical for pancreatic development, had worsening glucose tolerance with age and reduced insulin release in response to glucose, KCl, and arginine from the perfused pancreas.
320 12697734 Surprisingly, insulin secretion in perifusion or static incubation experiments in response to glucose and other secretagogues was similar in islets isolated from Pdx1(+/-) mice compared with Pdx1(+/+) littermate controls.
321 12697734 Bcl(XL) and Bcl-2 expression were reduced in Pdx1(+/-) islets.
322 12697734 These results suggest that an increase in apoptosis, with abnormal regulation of islet number and beta cell mass, represents a key mechanism whereby partial PDX1 deficiency leads to an organ-level defect in insulin secretion and diabetes.
323 12765953 To this end, two strategies that have emerged for procuring cell lines with resistance to immune-mediated damage are 1) selection of cytokine-resistant cell lines by growth of INS-1 insulinoma cells in iteratively increasing concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1beta + gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma), and 2) stable overexpression of the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 in INS-1 cells.
324 12765953 Herein, we show that bcl-2-overexpressing cells are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), but are only modestly protected against high concentrations of IL-1beta + INF-gamma, whereas the converse is true in cytokine selected cells.
325 12765953 We also found that the combination of bcl-2 expression and cytokine selection confers a broader spectrum of resistance than either procedure alone, such that the resultant cells are highly resistant to cytokines and ROS/RNS, with no impairment in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
326 12765953 INS-1-derived cells with combined bcl-2 expression and cytokine selection are also more resistant to damage induced by coculture with mitogen-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

339 12960095 The peptide hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), has been shown to increase glucose-dependent insulin secretion, enhance insulin gene transcription, expand islet cell mass, and inhibit beta-cell apoptosis in animal models of diabetes.
340 12960095 Human islets were cultured for 5 d in the presence, or absence, of GLP-1 (10 nm, added every 12 h) and studied for viability and expression of proapoptotic (caspase-3) and antiapoptotic factors (bcl-2) as well as glucose-dependent insulin production.
341 12960095 The antiapoptotic effect of GLP-1 was associated with the down-regulation of active caspase-3 (P < 0.001) and the up-regulation of bcl-2 (P < 0.01).
342 12960095 The effect of GLP-1 on the intracellular levels of bcl-2 and caspase-3 was observed at the mRNA and protein levels.
343 12960095 Intracellular insulin content was markedly enhanced in islets cultured with GLP-1 vs. control (P < 0.001, at d 5), and there was a parallel GLP-1-dependent potentiation of glucose-dependent insulin secretion (P < 0.01 at d 3; P < 0.05 at d 5).

354 14561487 The JNK binding domain of islet-brain 1 inhibits IL-1 induced JNK activity and apoptosis but not the transcription of key proapoptotic or protective genes in insulin-secreting cell lines.
355 14561487 The stress-activated protein kinase c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is a central signal for interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced apoptosis in insulin-producing beta-cells.
356 14561487 The cell-permeable peptide inhibitor of JNK (JNKI1), that introduces the JNK binding domain (JBD) of the scaffold protein islet-brain 1 (IB1) inside cells, effectively prevents beta-cell death caused by this cytokine.
357 14561487 To define the molecular targets of JNK involved in cytokine-induced beta-cell apoptosis we investigated whether JNKI1 or stable expression of JBD affected the expression of selected pro- and anti-apoptotic genes induced in rat (RIN-5AH-T2B) and mouse (betaTC3) insulinoma cells exposed to IL-1beta.
358 14561487 Inhibition of JNK significantly reduced phosphorylation of the specific JNK substrate c-Jun (p<0.05), IL-1beta-induced apoptosis (p<0.001), and IL-1beta-mediated c-fos gene expression.
359 14561487 However, neither JNKI1 nor JBD did influence IL-1beta-induced NO synthesis or iNOS expression or the transcription of the genes encoding mitochondrial manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase rho (GSTrho), heat shock protein (HSP) 70, IL-1beta-converting enzyme (ICE), caspase-3, apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL.
360 14592444 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine considered to play a key role in beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
361 14592444 Expression of TNF receptor I, inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), Bcl-2, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to investigate the suppressor mechanism of FTS on TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis.
362 14592444 FTS treatment suppressed the expression of iNOS and Bcl-2 mRNA in TNF-alpha-treated cells.
363 14592444 The expression of NF-kappa B mRNA in TNF-alpha-treated cells was enhanced after FTS treatment, while that of ICE mRNA did not change in TNF-alpha-treated cells with or without FTS treatment.
364 14592444 These results suggest that the inhibition of MIN6 cell death by FTS on TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis is caused by a negative feedback mechanism involving the inhibition of iNOS induction.
365 14592444 Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a cytokine considered to play a key role in beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).
366 14592444 Expression of TNF receptor I, inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), Bcl-2, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction to investigate the suppressor mechanism of FTS on TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis.
367 14592444 FTS treatment suppressed the expression of iNOS and Bcl-2 mRNA in TNF-alpha-treated cells.
368 14592444 The expression of NF-kappa B mRNA in TNF-alpha-treated cells was enhanced after FTS treatment, while that of ICE mRNA did not change in TNF-alpha-treated cells with or without FTS treatment.
369 14592444 These results suggest that the inhibition of MIN6 cell death by FTS on TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis is caused by a negative feedback mechanism involving the inhibition of iNOS induction.
370 14617576 Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I/IGF-binding protein-3 complex: therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of protection against type 1 diabetes.
371 14617576 Administration of IGF-I either alone or as an IGF-I/IGFBP-3 complex reduced the severity of insulitis and delayed the onset of T1D in nonobese diabetic mice, but IGF-I/IGFBP-3 was significantly more effective.
372 14617576 Protection from T1D elicited by IGF-I/IGFBP-3 was mediated by up-regulated CCL4 and down-regulated CCL3 gene expression in pancreatic draining lymph nodes, activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Akt/protein kinase B signaling pathway of beta-cells, reduced beta-cell apoptosis, and stimulation of beta-cell replication.
373 14617576 Reduced beta-cell apoptosis resulted from elevated Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) activity and diminished caspase-9 activity, indicating a novel role for a mitochondrial-dependent pathway of beta-cell death.
374 14617576 Thus, IGF-I/IGFBP-3 affords more efficient protection from insulitis, beta-cell destruction, and T1D than IGF-I, and this complex may represent an efficacious therapeutic treatment for the prevention of T1D.

376 14633857 Vascular insufficiency and retinal ischemia precede many proliferative retinopathies and stimulate secretion of various vasoactive growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placenta growth factor (PlGF).
377 14633857 It is unclear, however, how PlGF, which is elevated in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and is a VEGF homolog that binds only to VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-1, promotes pathological angiogenesis.
378 14633857 When primary microvascular endothelial cells were grown on collagen gels, PlGF-containing ligands upregulated Bcl-2 expression and stimulated the formation of capillary-like tube networks that were retained for up to 14 days in culture.

403 14664702 Diminished penile expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors at the insulin-resistant stage of a type II diabetic rat model: a possible cause for erectile dysfunction in diabetes.
404 14664702 We hypothesized that expressions of VEGF, its receptors and its signaling pathway Akt may be drastically altered in diabetic penile tIssues and their alterations may modulate penile expression of the molecules that are believed to play a role in diabetic ED.
405 14664702 We determined protein and mRNA expressions of VEGF, its receptors, Akt, nitric oxide synthase isoforms, and apoptosis-related molecules in the penis using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, in situ hybridization, and real-time quantitative PCR analyses.
406 14664702 OLETF rats showed marked reductions in penile expression of VEGF, its two receptors and Akt.
407 14664702 Furthermore, while anti-apoptotic markers, Bcl-2 and phosphorylated Bad, were down-regulated, pro-apoptotic markers, active caspase-3 and Bax, were up-regulated, resulting in the appearance of apoptotic cells in the penile tIssues of OLETF rats.
408 14690455 Over-expression of sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) in rat pancreatic islets induces lipogenesis and decreases glucose-stimulated insulin release: modulation by 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR).
409 14690455 In the present study, we determine whether over-expression in rat islets of the lipogenic transcription factor SREBP1c (sterol-regulatory-element-binding protein-1c) affects insulin release, and whether changes in islet lipid content may be reversed by activation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase).
410 14690455 Real-time PCR (TaqMan) analysis showed that SREBP1c up-regulated the expression of FAS (fatty acid synthase; 6-fold), acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1 (2-fold), as well as peroxisomal-proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (7-fold), uncoupling protein-2 (1.4-fold) and Bcl2 (B-cell lymphocytic-leukaemia proto-oncogene 2; 1.3-fold).
411 14690455 By contrast, levels of pre-proinsulin, pancreatic duodenal homeobox-1, glucokinase and GLUT2 (glucose transporter isoform-2) mRNAs were unaltered.
412 14690455 Culture of islets with the AMPK activator 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide riboside decreased the expression of the endogenous SREBP1c and FAS genes, and reversed the effect of over-expressing active SREBP1c on FAS mRNA levels and cellular triacylglycerol content.
413 14702112 mice; estrogen reduced tissue injury and enhanced antiapoptotic gene expression (bcl-2 and bfl-1). db/db mice demonstrated more damage, without increased bcl-2 mRNA; bfl-1 expression appeared at 48 hours of recovery associated with infarction.
414 14702112 Furthermore, estrogen replacement stimulated early postischemic expression of bcl-2 and bfl-1 and reduced damage in normoglycemic animals but failed to protect the diabetic brain.

417 15114276 LCPUFAs suppress the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (and so also of OX40, since it belongs to the family of TNFR) and the expression of Bcl-2, suggesting that these fatty acids have the ability to prevent/suppress autoimmune diseases.
418 15114276 This indicates that LCPUFAs present in human breast milk suppress the levels of OX40 and decrease the expression of Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 on exposure to self-antigens and thus, protects against the development of autoimmune diseases in later life.

421 15298963 Furthermore, diosgenin induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells at least in part by inhibition of bcl-2 and by induction of caspase-3 protein expression.
422 15322087 Guggulsterone inhibits NF-kappaB and IkappaBalpha kinase activation, suppresses expression of anti-apoptotic gene products, and enhances apoptosis.
423 15322087 Guggulsterone suppressed DNA binding of NF-kappaB induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF), phorbol ester, okadaic acid, cigarette smoke condensate, hydrogen peroxide, and interleukin-1.
424 15322087 NF-kappaB-dependent reporter gene transcription induced by TNF, TNFR1, TRADD, TRAF2, NIK, and IKK was also blocked by guggulsterone but without affecting p65-mediated gene transcription.
425 15322087 In addition, guggulsterone decreased the expression of gene products involved in anti-apoptosis (IAP1, xIAP, Bfl-1/A1, Bcl-2, cFLIP, and survivin), proliferation (cyclin D1 and c-Myc), and metastasis (MMP-9, COX-2, and VEGF); this correlated with enhancement of apoptosis induced by TNF and chemotherapeutic agents.
426 15369775 It has been reported that overexpression of Bcl-2/Bcl-XL proteins enhances islet viability.
427 15369775 Bcl-XL and BH4 molecules were fused to TAT/PTD, the 11-aa cell penetrating peptide from HIV-1 transactivating protein, generating TAT-Bcl-XL and TAT-BH4, respectively.
428 15369775 Spontaneous caspase activation in human islets and cytotoxicity caused by IL-1beta were significantly reduced in the presence of TAT-Bcl-XL and TAT-BH4.
429 15494484 At 5-8 wk of age, even in the absence of TCRbeta expression, CD4+ and CD4+CD8+ blasts appear spontaneously.
430 15494484 They mimic normal beta selection by up-regulating germline TCR-Calpha transcripts, CD2, and Bcl-xL and down-regulating Bcl-2.
431 15494484 However, they fail to down-regulate transcription factors HEB-alt and Hes1 and initially express aberrantly high levels of Spi-B, c-kit (CD117), and IL-7Ralpha.
432 15525583 Rat islets treated with a cytokine combination (interleukin (IL)-1beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interferon (IFN)-gamma) displayed a significant increase in islet cell apoptosis when the islets were incubated in 24.4 mM glucose compared with untreated islets at the same glucose concentration (13.07 +/- 1.78% vs 6.09 +/- 0.78%; P < 0.01) or islets incubated in 5.5 mM glucose concentration and cytokines (13.07 +/- 1.78% vs 8.04 +/- 1.56%; P < 0.05).
433 15525583 However, the expression of anti-apoptotic mediators such as bcl-2 and bcl-xL did not show any significant change.
434 15525583 These results suggest that cytokine- and STZ-mediated apoptotic effects on islet cells might be mediated by a glucose-induced hyperfunctional status and associated with an increase in Fas (Apo-1, CD-95) expression and no changes in the expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins bcl-xL and bcl-2.

438 15531378 Since ischemia can be related to not only necrosis but apoptosis as well, we compared the development of apoptosis in STZ-diabetic rats and STZ-diabetic rats subjected to occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). 24-48 hr following MCA occlusion the animals were killed, the brain removed and prepared for evaluation by several indexes of apoptosis: nucleosomal DNA fragmentation, TUNEL staining, activation of caspase-3 and alteration in the expression of Bax and Bcl2.
439 15565861 Cells were transduced using a Maloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) vector coding for yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) and for one of the following antiapoptotic genes: cFLIP, FADD-DN, BcL-2, PI-9, and ICAM-2.
440 15565861 The data demonstrate that cFLIP, FADD-DN, and PI-9 are significantly more effective in protecting NIT-1 cells than BcL-2 and ICAM-2.
441 15565861 Additionally, the data show that despite its weak in vitro inhibition of caspase-3, PI-9 affords significant protection against TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in these cells.

445 15582161 Expression of the axotomy-responsive genes coding for growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), galanin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), pre-pro-vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (pre-pro-VIP), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), protease nexin 1, heat-shock protein 27 (HSP 27) and myosin light chain kinase II (MLCK II) was unaffected in ganglia from diabetic rats compared to controls; thus, no axotomised phenotype was established.
446 15582161 The expression of the majority of proapoptotic genes in the DRG was also unaltered (bax, bad, bid, bok, c-Jun, p38, TNFR1, caspase 3 and NOS2).
447 15582161 Similarly there was no change in expression of the majority of antiapoptotic genes (bcl2, bcl-xL, bcl-w, NfkappaB).
448 15587404 This study examined the potential roles of astragalus and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2) in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic cardiomyopathy.
449 15587404 Cardiomyocyte apoptosis index (CAI), mRNA of AT2 and Bcl-2 as well as AT2 and Bcl-2 protein values in cardiomyocytes were also measured.
450 15587404 Changes of Bcl-2 were opposite to those of AT2.

454 15595688 [Apoptosis and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the penis of diabetic rats].
455 15649569 Immunohistochemical studies revealed that, in mirror sections, the staining of Bax and activated caspase-3 were observed in the TUNEL-positive cell area, but the expression of Bcl-2 in these apoptotic cells was generally too low to be detected.
456 15649569 These results suggest that a Bax-regulated mitochondrial cytochrome c-mediated caspase-3 activation pathway might be involved in the diabetic embryopathy.
457 15677500 Adenovirus-mediated XIAP gene transfer reverses the negative effects of immunosuppressive drugs on insulin secretion and cell viability of isolated human islets.
458 15677500 All three agents induce a decrease of intracellular levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, with an increased level of Smac, indicating that they are capable of promoting a downregulation of anti-apoptotic factors and an accumulation of pro-apoptotic mediators.
459 15677500 In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that genetically modified human islets expressing XIAP are resistant to the negative effects of immunosuppressive drugs on insulin secretion and cell viability.
460 15677513 High glucose inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation in vascular smooth muscle cells via upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl.
461 15677513 Furthermore, exposure of VSMCs to high glucose markedly increased the abundance of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl mRNAs compared with treatment with normal glucose, while expression of bax and IAP-1 mRNA remained unchanged.
462 15677513 Our results suggest that high glucose suppresses serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis in VSMCs by upregulating expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl, suggesting that enhanced expression of antiapoptotic proteins may play an important role in the development of macrovascular complications in diabetes.

469 15705778 We therefore generated a stable transfected beta-cell line (INS-1) overexpressing human TXNIP and found that TXNIP overexpression induced apoptosis as assessed by Bax, Bcl2, caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-9 as well as Hoechst staining.
470 15705778 Interestingly, islets of insulin-resistant/diabetic mice (AZIP-F1, BTBRob/ob) demonstrated elevated TXNIP expression, suggesting that TXNIP may play a role in glucotoxicity and the beta-cell loss observed under these conditions.
471 15705778 Thus, TXNIP is a novel proapoptotic beta-cell gene elevated in insulin resistance/diabetes and up-regulated by glucose through a unique ChoRE and may link glucotoxicity and beta-cell apoptosis.
472 15784465 Synergistic inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis in human pancreatic beta cells by Bcl-2 and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis.
473 15784465 To better understand the cytokine death-signal transduction pathways in human beta cells, we investigated the inhibitory effects of Bcl-2 (protooncogene bcl-2) and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) on TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand)-induced human beta-cell destruction.
474 15784465 TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis of Bcl-2-overexpressing beta cells were clearly decreased, in comparison with wild-type cells and the empty vector transfectants.
475 15784465 Interestingly, cytotoxicity induced by TRAIL in human beta cells transfected with both Bcl-2 and AdXIAP was much less than that observed in human beta cells transfected with either Bcl-2 or XIAP alone (p < 0.005 in CM and p < 0.03 in NES2Y).

511 15935144 Emerging evidence implicates protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the phenomenon of insulin secretion.
512 15935144 The three principal objectives of this commentary are to: (i) review the existing evidence, which suggests regulation, by glucose and other insulin secretagogues, of PP2A in the beta cell; (ii) discuss the experimental evidence, which implicates PP2A-like enzymes in the dephosphorylation and inactivation of key beta cell phosphoprotein substrates (e.g., Akt and Bcl-2), which may be necessary for beta cell proliferation and survival, culminating in the loss of the beta cell mass; and (iii) highlight potential avenues for future research, including the development of specific pharmacological and therapeutic interventional modalities for the inhibition of specific PP2A-like phosphatases for the prevention of loss of beta cell mass leading to the onset of diabetes.

514 16046294 Mechanisms of compensatory beta-cell growth in insulin-resistant rats: roles of Akt kinase.
515 16046294 In these ZF pups, an augmented survival potential of beta-cells of ZF pups was observed by enhanced activated (phospho-) Akt, phospho-BAD, and Bcl-2 immunoreactivity in the postweaning period.
516 16046294 During this phase, we also detected an increase in the numbers of small beta-cell clusters among ducts and acini, increased duct pancreatic/duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1) immunoreactivity, and an increase in islet number in the ZF rats suggesting duct- and acini-mediated heightened beta-cell neogenesis.
517 16046294 Interestingly, in young ZF rats, specific cells associated with ducts, acini, and islets exhibited an increased frequency of PDX-1+/phospho-Akt+ staining, indicating a potential role for Akt in beta-cell differentiation.
518 16111945 Here we show that BEC-1, the C. elegans ortholog of the yeast and mammalian autophagy proteins Atg6/Vps30 and Beclin 1, is essential for development.
519 16111945 We demonstrate that BEC-1 is necessary for the function of the class III PI3 kinase LET-512/Vps34, an essential protein required for autophagy, membrane trafficking, and endocytosis.
520 16111945 Furthermore, BEC-1 forms a complex with the antiapoptotic protein CED-9/Bcl-2, and its depletion triggers CED-3/Caspase-dependent PCD.

522 16114068 Similarly, in type 2 diabetes, the adipocyte-derived cytokines including TNF-alpha are elevated in the circulation, causing inflammation and insulin resistance.
523 16114068 We used RINr1046-38 (RIN) insulin-producing beta-cells, which constitutively express calbindin-D(28k), to characterize the effect of TNF-alpha on apoptosis, replication, insulin release, and gene and protein expression.
524 16114068 The subcellular localizations of Bcl-2, an antiapoptotic protein, and Bax, a proapoptotic protein, within RIN cells were altered with TNF-alpha treatment such that the two were colocalized with mitochondria in the perinuclear region.

533 16254033 Furthermore, treatment of only the donor suppressed the expression of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-alpha, inducible nitric oxide synthase, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and other proapoptotic and proinflammatory genes normally seen in the islets after transplantation.
534 16265596 This was associated by a decrease of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, an increase of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and activation of caspase 3.

543 16644678 Human IMA VSMCs from diabetic patients showed resistance to apoptosis, measured as DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activation, induced by C-reactive protein (CRP) and other stimuli, such as hydrogen peroxide and 7beta-hydroxycholesterol.
544 16644678 Consistent with the above, we found that pretreatment of nondiabetic VSMCs with high glucose abolished the degradation of Bcl-2 induced by CRP.
545 16644695 In INS-1 cells, dexamethasone increased the number of transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling-staining positive cells, caspase-3 activity, and poly-(ADP-) ribose polymerase protein cleavage; decreased Bcl-2 transcript and protein abundance; dephosphorylated the proapoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family (BAD) at serine155; and depolarized mitochondria.
546 16644695 In conclusion, glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis in insulin-secreting cells is accompanied by a downregulation of Bcl-2, activation of calcineurin with subsequent dephosphorylation of BAD, and mitochondrial depolarization.

555 16731829 Although similar HbA(1c) levels were observed in both groups, pioglitazone significantly inhibited glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix expansion and reduced urinary albumin excretion compared with the insulin-treated group.
556 16731829 In addition, pioglitazone significantly reduced the number of glomerular p27(Kip1)-positive cells.
557 16731829 Pioglitazone suppressed high glucose-induced phosphorylation of p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase and reduced Bcl-2 and p27(Kip1) protein levels.

559 16873684 cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) is required for beta-cell survival by regulating expression of crucial genes such as bcl-2 and IRS-2.
560 16873684 We observed that 10 mmol/l glucose-induced CREB phosphorylation was totally inhibited by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89 (2 micromol/l) and reduced by 50% with the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 inhibitor PD98059 (20 micromol/l).
561 16873684 This indicates that ERK1/2, reported to be located downstream of PKA, participates in the PKA-mediated CREB phosphorylation elicited by glucose.
562 16873684 In ERK1/2-downregulated MIN6 cells by siRNA, glucose-stimulated CREB phosphorylation was highly reduced and CREB protein content was decreased by 60%.
563 16873684 In MIN6 cells and islets cultured for 24-48 h in optimal glucose concentration (10 mmol/l), which promotes survival, blockade of ERK1/2 activity with PD98059 caused a significant decrease in CREB protein level, whereas CREB mRNA remained unaffected (measured by real-time quantitative PCR).
564 16873684 This was associated with loss of bcl-2 mRNA and protein contents, caspase-3 activation, and emergence of ultrastructural apoptotic features detected by electron microscopy.

574 16951721 American ginseng stimulates insulin production and prevents apoptosis through regulation of uncoupling protein-2 in cultured beta cells.
575 16951721 A mitochondrial protein, uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) has been found to play a critical role in insulin synthesis and beta cell survival.
576 16951721 Our preliminary studies found that the extracts of American ginseng inhibit UCP-2 expression which may contribute to the ability of ginseng protecting beta cell death and improving insulin synthesis.
577 16951721 Therefore, we hypothesized that ginseng extracts suppress UCP-2 in the mitochondria of pancreatic beta cells, promoting insulin synthesis and anti-apoptosis (a programmed cell-death mechanism).
578 16951721 We evaluated effects of ginseng on UCP-2 expression, insulin production, anti-/pro-apoptotic factors Bcl-2/caspase-9 expression and cellular ATP levels.
579 16951721 We found that ginseng suppresses UCP-2, down-regulates caspase-9 while increasing ATP and insulin production/secretion and up-regulates Bcl-2, reducing apoptosis.
580 16951721 These findings suggest that stimulation of insulin production and prevention of beta cell loss by American ginseng extracts can occur via the inhibition of mitochondrial UCP-2, resulting in increase in the ATP level and the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, while down-regulation of pro-apoptotic factor caspase-9 occurs, lowering the occurrence of apoptosis, which support the hypothesis.

606 17131386 Apoptotic signaling in methylglyoxal-treated human osteoblasts involves oxidative stress, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, caspase-3, and p21-activated kinase 2.
607 17131386 We further show that MG-induced apoptosis of osteoblasts involves specific apoptotic biochemical changes, including oxidative stress, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, mitochondrial membrane potential changes, cytochrome C release, increased Bax/Bcl-2 protein ratios, and activation of caspases (caspase-9, caspase-3) and p21-activated protein kinase 2 (PAK2).
608 17131386 Treatment of osteoblasts with SP600125, a JNK-specific inhibitor, led to a reduction in MG-induced apoptosis and decreased activation of caspase-3 and PAK2, indicating that JNK activity is upstream of these events.
609 17131386 Experiments using anti-sense oligonucleotides against PAK2 further showed that PAK2 activation is required for MG-induced apoptosis in osteoblasts.
610 17210759 Activation of caspase 3 decreased and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family increased as early as 1 week after diabetes onset.
611 17242177 Simultaneous administration of HGF and FFAs significantly suppressed the impaired insulin secretion and FFA-induced apoptosis.
612 17242177 These effects appear to be mediated by bcl-2 and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways.
613 17242177 Indeed, HGF increased mRNA and protein expression of bcl-2 downregulated by FFAs-treatment; moreover, pre-treatment with the specific PI3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, significantly abolished the protective effect of HGF.

802 19164757 Like bortezomib, EerI-induced cytotoxicity requires the up-regulation of the Bcl-2 homology3 (BH3)-only pro-apoptotic protein NOXA.
803 19164757 First, these agents elicit an integrated stress response program at the ER to activate the CREB/ATF transcription factors ATF3 and ATF4.
804 19164757 We show that ATF3 and ATF4 form a complex capable of binding to the NOXA promoter, which is required for NOXA activation.
805 19164757 Second, EerI and bortezomib also block ubiquitination of histone H2A to relieve its inhibition on NOXA transcription.
806 19177839 We studied the expression of a set of selected genes involved in apoptosis (Bcl2, Bclx(L), Bax, Bad, Bid, and CHOP), cytokine defense, (SOCS-1 and SOCS-3), or free radical protection (Hmox1, Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, and Hsp70).
807 19177839 The expression of proapoptotic genes Bid and CHOP, as well as protective genes Bclx(L), Socs1, Socs3, Hmox1, and MnSod, was maximally increased 1 day after transplantation, and in most cases it remained increased 7 days later, indicating the presence of a protective response against cell damage.

812 19209227 Previous gain-of-function studies in the RIP1-Tag2 model of pancreatic islet carcinogenesis, involving uniform or focal/temporal over-expression of Bcl-x(L), demonstrated accelerated tumor formation and growth.
813 19209227 Other anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members were expressed but not substantively altered at the mRNA level in the Bcl-x-null tumors, suggestive of redundancy without compensatory transcriptional up-regulation.
814 19279000 Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 modulate beta-cell chromatin structure.
815 19279000 In the present study, we examined whether nuclear actions of the incretin hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1, involve modulation of beta-cell chromatin structure.
816 19279000 Stimulation of INS-1(832/13) beta-cells or dispersed mouse islets with glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide or glucagon-like peptide-1 resulted in the post-translational modification of core H3 histones, through acetylation and phosphorylation.
817 19279000 Subsequent studies demonstrated that incretin-mediated histone H3 modifications involved activation of protein kinase A, p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and p38 MAPK signaling modules, resulting in the activation of mitogen- and stress-activated kinase-1.
818 19279000 Incretin-activated CREB-related Bcl-2 transcription was greatly reduced by a histone acetyltransferase inhibitor, demonstrating the functional importance of histone H3 modification.
819 19330083 Upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 combined with increased adiponectin lowers blood pressure in diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats through a reduction in endothelial cell dysfunction, apoptosis and oxidative stress.
820 19330083 Treatment with SnCl(2) not only attenuated the increase of blood pressure (p<0.01), but also increased HO-1 protein content, HO activity and plasma adiponectin levels, decreased the levels of superoxide and 3-nitrotyrosine (NT), respectively.
821 19330083 Reduction in oxidative stress resulted in the increased expression of Bcl-2 and AKT with a concomitant reduction in circulating endothelial cells (CEC) in the peripheral blood (p<0.005) and an improvement of femoral reactivity (response to acetylcholine).
822 19330083 Thus induction of HO-1 accompanied with increased plasma adiponectin levels in diabetic hypertensive rats alters the phenotype through a reduction in oxidative stress, thereby permitting endothelial cells to maintain an anti-apoptotic environment and the restoration of endothelial responses thus preventing hypertension.
823 19393315 Genistein and daidzein upregulated the estrogen receptor ERbeta and increased Bcl-2 expression.
824 19393315 Moreover, inhibition of the PI3K and Rho A/Rho kinase pathways by wortmannin and Y-27632 altered the effects of genistein and daidzein on cell survival.
825 19393315 We conclude that oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and cell proliferation inhibition can be prevented by soy isoflavones via the regulation of ERbeta and Bcl-2/Bax expression and modulation of cell survival signaling, such as the PI3K pathway.
826 19393315 Genistein and daidzein upregulated the estrogen receptor ERbeta and increased Bcl-2 expression.

829 19411758 Bim, the B cell lymphoma 2-interacting (Bcl2-interacting) mediator, maintains immunological tolerance by deleting autoreactive lymphocytes through apoptosis.
830 19411758 Upon T cell receptor activation, Bim-deficient T cells exhibited severe defects in both calcium release and dephosphorylation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) but maintained normal levels of activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs.
831 19411758 The defective calcium signaling in Bim-deficient T cells was associated with a significant increase in the formation of an inhibitory complex containing Bcl2 and the inositol triphosphate receptor (IP3R).
832 19411758 Thus, in addition to mediating the death of autoreactive T cells, Bim also controlled T cell activation through the IP3R/calcium/NFAT pathway.

837 19455054 The level of cytochrome c expression and caspase 3 activation was also reduced.
838 19455054 BHE elevated antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and heme oxygenase-1 and stimulated the phosphorylation of survival protein Akt simultaneously decreasing the apoptotic proteins Bax and Src.
839 19455054 In addition, BHE enhanced the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta, and Glut-4, probably revealing the antiobese and antidiabetic potential of BHE.
840 19463916 Twenty-three retinal genes, mainly from TNF ligand and receptor, caspase, Bcl-2 and death domain subfamilies that were upregulated by least a two-fold in PC rats remain upregulated after reversal of hyperglycemia.
841 19467786 We previously reported that high glucose can induce apoptosis in PC12 cells, as evidenced by DNA fragmentation and high Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
842 19467786 The present study examined the involvement of caspase-3, the executioner, and two initiators of apoptosis, caspase-8 and caspase-9, during high glucose-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells, a neuronal cell line.
843 19540304 Ghrelin did not modify body weight or serum glucose, leptin or adiponectin, but increased total ghrelin (P<0.05), IGF-I (P<0.01) and prolactin (P<0.01) levels.
844 19540304 Ghrelin decreased cell death, iNOS and active caspase-8 (P<0.05) and increased prolactin (P<0.05), Bcl-2 (P<0.01) and Hsp70 (P<0.05) content in the pituitary.
845 19540304 In conclusion, ghrelin prevents diabetes-induced death of lactotrophs, decreasing caspase-8 activation and iNOS content and increasing anti-apoptotic pathways such as pituitary Bcl-2 and Hsp70 and serum IGF-I concentrations.

849 19556421 To clarify whether the molecular pathways elicited by NO and ER Ca(2+) depletion differ, we here compare the direct effects of NO, in the form of the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-D,L-penicillamine (SNAP), with the effects of SERCA2 inhibitor thapsigargin (TG) on MAPK, nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), Bcl-2 proteins, ER stress, and apoptosis.
850 19556421 Both TG and SNAP induced activation of the proapoptotic transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP).
851 19556421 Inhibition of NFkappaB or the Bcl-2 family member Bax pathways protected beta-cells against TG- but not SNAP-induced beta-cell death.

855 19610036 Apoptosis was inferred by caspase-3 protein expression and caspase-3 activity and changes in Bcl-2 mRNA.
856 19610036 RT-PCR was used to analyse PDX-1, insulin and UCP-2 mRNA expression in RINm5F beta-cells and insulin levels were quantified from the cell culture supernatant.
857 19610036 Gallic acid dose-dependently increased insulin secretion in RINm5F beta-cells and upregulated mRNA of PDX-1 and insulin.
858 19629134 Signaling by IL-1beta+IFN-gamma and ER stress converge on DP5/Hrk activation: a novel mechanism for pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis.
859 19629134 We presently show that the cytokines IL-1beta+IFN-gamma and different ER stressors activate the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only member death protein 5 (DP5)/harakiri (Hrk) resulting in beta-cell apoptosis.
860 19629134 Chemical ER stress-induced DP5 upregulation is JNK/c-Jun-dependent.
861 19629134 DP5 activation by cytokines also involves JNK/c-Jun phosphorylation and is antagonized by JunB.
862 19629134 Interestingly, cytokine-inducted DP5 expression precedes ER stress: mitochondrial release of cytochrome c and ER stress are actually a consequence of enhanced DP5 activation by cytokine-mediated nitric oxide formation.
863 19629134 These observations contribute to solve two important questions, namely the mechanism by which IL-1beta+IFN-gamma induce beta-cell death and the nature of the downstream signals by which ER stress 'convinces' beta-cells to trigger apoptosis.
864 19657327 HO-1 expression, its activity, the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 protein, and active caspase-3 fragments were all significantly higher in isolated glomeruli of diabetic rats and in high glucose-treated podocytes.

871 19710242 CYP11B2 and MCR expression were significantly higher in HG-stimulated podocytes and DM glomeruli compared with NG cells and C glomeruli, respectively, along with increased aldosterone levels.
872 19710242 Western blot analysis revealed that cleaved caspase-3 and Bax expression was significantly increased, whereas Bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased in HG-stimulated podocytes and in DM glomeruli.
873 19748889 Suppression of p38 MAPK and JNK via Akt-mediated inhibition of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 constitutes a core component of the beta-cell pro-survival effects of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide.
874 19748889 Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, insulin biosynthesis, and beta-cell proliferation and survival.
875 19748889 In previous studies GIP was shown to promote beta-cell survival by modulating the activity of multiple signaling modules and regulating gene transcription of pro- and anti-apoptotic bcl-2 family proteins.
876 19748889 We have now evaluated the mechanisms by which GIP regulates the dynamic interactions between cytoplasmic bcl-2 family members and the mitochondria in INS-1 cells during apoptosis induced by treatment with staurosporine (STS), an activator of the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway.
877 19748889 STS induced translocation of bad and bimEL, activation of mitochondrial bax, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, cleavage of caspase-3, and apoptosis.
878 19748889 Using selective enzyme inhibitors, overexpression of dominant-negative Akt, and Akt siRNA, it was demonstrated that GIP promoted beta-cell survival via Akt-dependent suppression of p38 MAPK and JNK and that combined inhibition was sufficient to explain the entire pro-survival responses to GIP during STS treatment.
879 19748889 This signaling pathway also explained the pro-survival effects of GIP on INS-1 cells exposed to two other promoters of stress: thapsigargin (endoplasmic reticulum stress) and etoposide (genotoxic stress).
880 19748889 Importantly, we discovered that GIP suppressed p38 MAPK and JNK via Akt-mediated changes in the phosphorylation state of the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 in INS-1 cells and human islets, resulting in inhibition of its activity.
881 19748889 Inhibition of apoptosis by GIP is therefore mediated via a key pathway involving Akt-dependent inhibition of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, which subsequently prevents the pro-apoptotic actions of p38 MAPK and JNK.

886 19748889 STS induced translocation of bad and bimEL, activation of mitochondrial bax, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, cleavage of caspase-3, and apoptosis.
887 19748889 Using selective enzyme inhibitors, overexpression of dominant-negative Akt, and Akt siRNA, it was demonstrated that GIP promoted beta-cell survival via Akt-dependent suppression of p38 MAPK and JNK and that combined inhibition was sufficient to explain the entire pro-survival responses to GIP during STS treatment.

890 19748889 Inhibition of apoptosis by GIP is therefore mediated via a key pathway involving Akt-dependent inhibition of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1, which subsequently prevents the pro-apoptotic actions of p38 MAPK and JNK.
891 19780024 Expression (RT-PCR and radioligand binding) and functional (calcium mobilization with fura-2AM, and p42/p44MAPK and Akt phosphorylation assays) experiments revealed the presence of functional B2R in pig cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (pCMVEC).

900 19808082 Angiotensin II-induced p53-dependent cardiac apoptotic cell death: its prevention by metallothionein.
901 19808082 The present study was to investigate whether Ang II induces p53 expression and activation and if so, whether Ang II-induced cardiac cell death is p53-dependent, and whether a potent antioxidant metallothionein (MT) prevents Ang II-induced p53 expression, and associate apoptotic cell death signaling.
902 19808082 We found that exposure of H9c2 cells to Ang II at 10, 50 and 100 nM for 24 h induced a significant apoptotic effect, measured by DNA fragmentation and cleaved caspase-3.
903 19808082 Induction of apoptotic cell death by Ang II can be completely blocked by p53 inhibitor Pitithrin-alpha.
904 19808082 Exposure of H9c2 cells to Ang II also significantly increased p53 phosphorylation, DNA double strand breaks and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
905 19808082 All these effects were not observed in H9c2MT7 cells that forcedly overexpresses human MT-IIA gene, suggesting the preventive effect of antioxidant MT against Ang II-induced p53 activation and its apoptotic death signaling.

934 20374430 To characterize the neuroprotective properties of GLP-1 and associated underlying mechanisms, we over-expressed the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells to generate a neuronal culture system featuring enhanced GLP-1R signaling.
935 20374430 In GLP-1R over-expressing SH-SY5Y (SH-hGLP-1R#9) cells, GLP-1 and the long-acting agonist exendin-4 stimulated cell proliferation and increased cell viability by 2-fold at 24 h at physiologically relevant concentrations.
936 20374430 This GLP-1R-dependent action was mediated via the protein kinase A and phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathways, with the MAPK pathway playing a minor role.
937 20374430 This involved amelioration of elevated caspase 3 activity, down-regulation of pro-apoptotic Bax and up-regulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein.
938 20374430 In the presence of 6-hydroxydopamine, GLP-1's ability to lower caspase-3 activity was abolished with the phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor, LY2940002, and partly reduced with the protein kinase A inhibitor, H89.
939 20374430 Hence, GLP-1R mediated neurotrophic and anti-apoptotic actions co-contribute to the neuroprotective property of GLP-1 in neuronal cell cultures, and reinforce the potential therapeutic value of GLP-1R agonists in neurodegenerative disorders involving oxidative stress.

948 20506110 Furthermore, PA decreased GRP78 expression and induced increases in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathways p-PERK, p-eIF2α, p-ATF4, and CHOP, which were blocked by AM251 treatment.
949 20506110 Moreover, PA increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, cleaved PARP, and caspase-3 levels.

979 20562294 Methylglyoxal-induced imbalance in the ratio of vascular endothelial growth factor to angiopoietin 2 secreted by retinal pigment epithelial cells leads to endothelial dysfunction.
980 20562294 In this study, we hypothesize that increased levels of MGO disrupt the ratio of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to angiopoietin 2 (Ang 2) secreted by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which provides a key destabilizing signal that leads to apoptosis and decreased proliferation of retinal endothelial cells.
981 20562294 Downregulation of VEGF is likely to be related to decreased hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) protein levels and HIF-1 transcriptional activity.
982 20562294 Data further show that MGO-induced imbalance in the VEGF/Ang II ratio significantly changes the levels of BAX and Bcl-2 in endothelial cells.
983 20562294 Data obtained in cell culture systems are consistent with observations in retinas of diabetic animals, where increased availability of MGO is associated with changes in distribution and levels of HIF-1alpha, VEGF and Ang 2 and increased microvascular permeability.
984 20562294 In conclusion, the MGO-induced imbalance in the VEGF/Ang 2 ratio secreted by retinal epithelial cells activates apoptosis and decreases proliferation of retinal endothelial cells, which are likely to contribute to endothelial dysfunction in diabetic retinopathy.

1010 20685070 Erythropoietin (EPO) can induce a series of cytoprotective effects in many non-hematopoietic tissues through interaction with the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), but whether EPO can prevent the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis in diabetes remains unclear.
1011 20685070 Here, we report that renal tubular cells possess EPOR and that EPO reduces high glucose-induced oxidative stress in renal tubular cells.
1012 20685070 Further, we found that EPO inhibited high glucose-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis and that this protective effect was dependent on reduction of Bax/caspase-3 expression as well as elevation of Bcl-2 expression.
1013 20685070 Our results suggest that EPO can inhibit high glucose-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis through direct effect on anti-oxidative stress and that EPOR may play a key role in this process.

1046 20933054 These results indicate that activation of the intrinsic/mitochondrial apoptosis pathway is essential for cytokine-induced beta cell death and the mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species, in particular mitochondrial hydrogen peroxide, differentially regulates the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
1047 21078376 Exacerbation of diabetes-induced testicular apoptosis by zinc deficiency is most likely associated with oxidative stress, p38 MAPK activation, and p53 activation in mice.
1048 21078376 TUNEL staining revealed that testicular apoptosis was significantly increased along with an increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, in diabetic mice and TPEN-treated normal mice.
1049 21078376 Increased oxidative stress was associated with an increase in activation of p38 MAPK and p53 protein in diabetic testis, which was worsened in the testes of diabetic mice with Zn deficiency.
1050 21078376 These results suggest that like diabetes, chronic depletion of Zn with TPEN induces testicular oxidative stress and damage, along with the activation of p38 MAPK and p53 signaling and mitochondria-related apoptotic cell death.
1051 21139139 A kinase-independent role for unoccupied insulin and IGF-1 receptors in the control of apoptosis.
1052 21139139 Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) act as antiapoptotic hormones.
1053 21139139 We found that, unexpectedly, double-knockout (DKO) cells that lacked both insulin and IGF-1 receptors (IR and IGF1R, respectively) were resistant to apoptosis induced through either the intrinsic or the extrinsic pathway.
1054 21139139 This resistance to apoptosis was associated with decreased abundance of the proapoptotic protein Bax and increases in abundance of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, XIAP, and Flip.
1055 21139139 Insulin and IGF-1 binding stimulates receptor tyrosine kinase activity and blocks apoptosis, whereas unliganded IR and IGF1R, acting through a mechanism independent of their catalytic activity, exert a permissive effect on cell death.
1056 21145380 Here, we found that iAs significantly decreased insulin secretion and cell viability, and increased ROS and MDA formation in pancreatic β-cell-derived RIN-m5F cells. iAs also induced the increases in sub-G1 hypodiploids, annexin V-Cy3 binding, and caspase-3 activity in RIN-m5F cells, indicating that iAs could induce β-cell apoptosis.
1057 21145380 Moreover, iAs induced MAPKs activation, mitochondria dysfunction, p53 up-regulation, Bcl-2 and Mdm-2 down-regulation, PARP, and caspase cascades, which displayed features of mitochondria-dependent apoptotic signals.
1058 21145380 In addition, exposure of RIN-m5F cells to iAs, could trigger ER stress as indicated by the enhancement in ER stress-related molecules induction (such as GRP78, GRP94, CHOP, and XBP1), procaspase-12 cleavage, and calpain activation.
1059 21151615 Shen-Fu injection preconditioning inhibits myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in diabetic rats: activation of eNOS via the PI3K/Akt pathway.
1060 21151615 SFI preconditioning significantly decreased infarct size, apoptosis, caspase-3 protein expression, MDA level in myocardial tissues, and plasma level of CK and LDH but increased p-Akt, p-eNOS, bcl-2 protein expression, and SOD activity compared to I/R group.
1061 21161439 Cell viability, apoptosis, glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, Bcl-2, and Bax gene expression levels, mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release were examined.
1062 21161439 Linoleic acid also dose-dependently reduced mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and significantly promoted cytochrome c release from mitochondria in both 11.1 mM glucose and 25 mM glucose culture medium, further reducing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, which is dependent on normal mitochondrial function.
1063 21163363 Involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in human islet amyloid polypeptide-induced apoptosis in INS-1E pancreatic beta cells: An effect attenuated by phycocyanin.
1064 21163363 Misfolded human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) in pancreatic islets is associated with the loss of insulin-secreting beta cells in type 2 diabetes.
1065 21163363 Further molecular analysis showed that hIAPP induced changes in the expression of Bcl-2 family members, release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) from mitochondria into cytosol, activation of caspases and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase.
1066 21190961 Here we investigated whether cytokine-induced inflammation and apoptosis can be prevented in β-cells by BCL-6 expression using plasmid, prolactin, and adenoviral approaches.
1067 21190961 The induction of mild or abundant BCL-6 expression in β-cells by prolactin or an adenoviral BCL-6 expression construct, respectively, reduced cytokine-induced inflammatory responses in a dose-dependent manner through inhibition of nuclear factor-κB activation.
1068 21190961 BCL-6 decreased Fas and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide production, but it inhibited the expression of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and JunB while increasing the expression of the proapoptotic death protein 5.
1069 21273665 Body weight and biochemical parameters (glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol), insulin and adipokines (leptin, adiponectin) were monitored.
1070 21273665 The microarray studies revealed that HF diet down-regulated genes related to angiogenesis (Nos3, Kdr) and up-regulated genes connected with apoptosis (activators of caspase 3, proapoptotic genes Bcl2) and proinflammatory pathway (NfκB pathway, Tnfα).
1071 21289215 The tuberin/mTOR pathway promotes apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells in diabetes.
1072 21289215 Because the tuberin/mTOR pathway can modulate apoptosis, we studied the role of this pathway in apoptosis in type I diabetes and in cultured proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells exposed to HG.
1073 21289215 Induction of diabetes also increased phosphorylation of tuberin in association with mTOR activation (measured by p70S6K phosphorylation), inactivation of Bcl-2, increased cytosolic cytochrome c expression, activation of caspase 3, and cleavage of PARP; insulin treatment prevented these changes.
1074 21289215 In vitro, exposure of PTE cells to HG increased phosphorylation of tuberin and p70S6K, phosphorylation of Bcl-2, expression of cytosolic cytochrome c, and caspase 3 activity.
1075 21289215 High glucose induced translocation of the caspase substrate YY1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and enhanced cleavage of PARP.
1076 21289215 Furthermore, gene silencing of tuberin with siRNA decreased cleavage of PARP.
1077 21289215 These data show that the tuberin/mTOR pathway promotes apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells in diabetes, mediated in part by cleavage of PARP by YY1.
1078 21289215 The tuberin/mTOR pathway promotes apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells in diabetes.
1079 21289215 Because the tuberin/mTOR pathway can modulate apoptosis, we studied the role of this pathway in apoptosis in type I diabetes and in cultured proximal tubular epithelial (PTE) cells exposed to HG.
1080 21289215 Induction of diabetes also increased phosphorylation of tuberin in association with mTOR activation (measured by p70S6K phosphorylation), inactivation of Bcl-2, increased cytosolic cytochrome c expression, activation of caspase 3, and cleavage of PARP; insulin treatment prevented these changes.
1081 21289215 In vitro, exposure of PTE cells to HG increased phosphorylation of tuberin and p70S6K, phosphorylation of Bcl-2, expression of cytosolic cytochrome c, and caspase 3 activity.
1082 21289215 High glucose induced translocation of the caspase substrate YY1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and enhanced cleavage of PARP.
1083 21289215 Furthermore, gene silencing of tuberin with siRNA decreased cleavage of PARP.
1084 21289215 These data show that the tuberin/mTOR pathway promotes apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells in diabetes, mediated in part by cleavage of PARP by YY1.
1085 21296063 Metoprolol inhibited CPT-1 without affecting CD36 translocation, associated with increased accumulation of triglycerides and long chain acyl CoA in the cytoplasm, and no effect on oxidative stress.
1086 21296063 Metoprolol induced a shift from protein kinase A to protein kinase B-mediated signaling, associated with a shift in the phosphorylation patterns of BCl-2 and Bad which favored BCl-2 action.
1087 21312071 In vitro, PTH1R silencing suppressed cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by high levels of glucose by regulating Bax/Bcl-2 expression.
1088 21488836 Among these factors, the cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) has emerged as a key transcriptional element for the maintenance of an efficient glucose sensing, insulin exocytosis, insulin gene transcription and β-cell survival.
1089 21488836 CREB activates the transcription of target genes within the β-cells in response to a diverse array of stimuli including glucose, incretin hormones such as the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or the gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), or growth factors such as the insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
1090 21488836 These mechanisms involve different protein kinases, scaffold proteins and cofactors which allow CREB to specifically regulate the expression of crucial genes such as insulin, BCL-2, cyclin D1, cyclin A2 or IRS-2.
1091 21500593 [Effects of nerve growth factor mixed insulin on angiogenesis of burn wounds and expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in diabetic rats].
1092 21505475 Cilostazol increased the number of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-positive cells in both strains 48, 96, and 168 hours after 2VO, but did not improve vessel wall thickness or collagen deposits.
1093 21505870 Overexpression of lactadherin increased EC apoptosis with up-regulation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, cytochrome c release, caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation suggesting the involvement of mitochondria apoptosis pathway.
1094 21590491 Histology showed multiple rudimentary to well-formed, follicle-like cavities on a classical spindle cell background; while all the participating cells exhibited an SCO immunophenotype, including positivity for S100 protein, vimentin, EMA, Bcl-2, and TTF-1, as well as staining with the antimitochondrial antibody 113-1.
1095 21625639 Sphingosine kinase 1 regulates the Akt/FOXO3a/Bim pathway and contributes to apoptosis resistance in glioma cells.
1096 21625639 Further mechanistic study examined the expression of Bcl-2 family members, including Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bax and Bim, in SPHK1-overexpressing glioma cells and revealed that only pro-apoptotic Bim was downregulated by SPHK1.
1097 21625639 Moreover, the transcriptional level of Bim was also altered by SPHK1 in glioma cells.
1098 21625639 We next confirmed the correlation between SPHK1 and Bim expression in primary glioma specimens.
1099 21625639 Importantly, increasing SPHK1 expression in glioma cells markedly elevated Akt activity and phosphorylated inactivation of FOXO3a, which led to downregulation of Bim.
1100 21625639 A pharmacological approach showed that these effects of SPHK1 were dependent on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K).
1101 21625639 Furthermore, effects of SPHK1 on Akt/FOXO3a/Bim pathway could be reversed by SPHK1 specific RNA interference or SPHK1 inhibitor.
1102 21625639 Collectively, our results indicate that regulation of the Akt/FOXO3a/Bim pathway may be a novel mechanism by which SPHK1 protects glioma cells from apoptosis, thereby involved in glioma tumorigenesis.
1103 21667436 Immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses revealed the downregulation of Bcl-2, upregulation of Bax, and increased activation of caspase-9 and -3, in diabetic rats, indicating that the apoptosis of taste bud cells may be mediated via the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway in diabetics.
1104 21674480 We used transgenic over-expression of either an anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-2) or a toxic transgene (rat insulin promoter-Kb) in mouse β cells to reduce or increase neonatal β-cell apoptosis, respectively.
1105 21742976 Anti-CD3 treatment induced a transient systemic rise in the percentage but not absolute number of CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs due to selective depletion of CD4(+)Foxp3(-) conventional T cells.
1106 21742976 T cell depletion induced by FNB anti-CD3 mAb was independent of the proapoptotic proteins Fas, caspase-3, and Bim and was not inhibited by overexpression of the anti-apoptotic protein, Bcl-2.
1107 21773964 The protein levels of p-AKT, Bcl-2, and Bax were also determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, respectively.
1108 21773964 Furthermore, we found that glargine downregulated the level of Bax protein and upregulated that of Bcl-2 (p <0.05).
1109 21773964 The protein levels of p-AKT, Bcl-2, and Bax were also determined by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, respectively.
1110 21773964 Furthermore, we found that glargine downregulated the level of Bax protein and upregulated that of Bcl-2 (p <0.05).
1111 21776823 Molecular and cellular studies indicated that metformin significantly elevated p53 and Bax levels and reduced STAT3 and Bcl-2.
1112 21776823 Receptor inhibitor studies indicated that p53 activation was mediated through insulin receptor (IR), not insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-IR).
1113 21776823 Furthermore, MEK inhibitor significantly suppressed metformin-induced p53 and Bax elevation while ERK inhibitor generated a slight reduction in p53 levels.
1114 21776823 In contrast, PI3K inhibitor did not produce any effect on the metformin-elevated p53 levels.
1115 21776823 Finally, SAPK/JNK, known to be involved in apoptosis, was activated in cells treated with metformin and the activation appeared to occur downstream of ERK.
1116 21776823 All these results suggested that metformin activated p53, Bax, and induced tumor cell apoptosis through the ERK signaling pathway.
1117 21776823 This pathway has not been previously described for IR, p53, Bax activation, or apoptosis.
1118 21805019 The sensing of ribonucleic acids (RNAs) by the monocyte/macrophage system occurs through the TLR7/8 Toll-like receptor family, the retinoic acid-inducible protein I (RIG-I), and the melanoma differentiation-associated protein-5 (MDA-5).
1119 21805019 To determine whether circulating RNAs have an agonistic or antagonistic effect on the signaling pathways involved in inflammatory, apoptotic, and antiviral cascade, their effect on TLR8, RIG-I, MDA-5, MyD88, NF-KB, IRF-3, phosphoIRF-3, IRF-7, RIP, and p38 was evaluated.
1120 21805019 A significantly lower level was achieved by cultivating PBMCs with circulating RNAs isolated from type 1 diabetic children, compared to the intact PBMCs, in relation to TLR-8, MDA-5, NF-KB, phospho IRF-3, and RIP, while it was higher for Bax.
1121 21805019 All the metabolic stress conditions up-regulated NF-KB, Bcl-2, and Bax.
1122 21839831 We estimated blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, glucokinase, and fructosamine and analyzed the expression of marker proteins like insulin, GLUT2, and GLUT4.
1123 21839831 We assayed generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and several inflammatory and apoptotic signal proteins like NFkB, IFNγ, iNOS, Bcl(2,) Bax, STAT1 and Caspase3.
1124 21839831 We observed an elevation of all biomarkers for oxidative stress, generation of ROS and activation of NFkB and down regulation in expression of insulin, GLUT2 and glucokinase in hyperglycemic mice.
1125 21925162 To examine the direct effects of EGCG on β-cells, insulin-producing RINm5F cells were exposed to a combination of recombinant interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ), with or without EGCG pretreatment for 24h.
1126 21925162 The expression of cytochrome c, Bax, Bcl-2, and iNOS proteins was measured by western blotting.
1127 21925162 EGCG reduced the cytokine-induced generation of reactive oxygen species, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria, and translocation of Bax protein to the mitochondria from the cytosol.
1128 21964948 The relationship of CD4(+)CD25(hi) T regulatory cells (Treg) and pro-inflammatory Th17 and Th1 subsets in T2D patients with metabolic disorders and complications need to be determined.
1129 21964948 The ratios of CD4(+)CD25(hi) Treg/Th17 cells and CD4(+)CD25(hi) Treg/Th1 cells, but not Th17/Th1 cells, were significantly decreased in T2D patients.
1130 21964948 The thymic output CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Helios(+) Tregs were normal but peripheral induced CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Helios(-) Tregs were decreased in T2D patients.
1131 21964948 The Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased in CD4(+)CD25(hi) Tregs in T2D patients, supporting the increased sensitivity to cell death of these cells in T2D.
1132 21964948 CD4(+)CD25(hi)CD127(-) Tregs in T2D patients with microvascular complications were significantly less than T2D patients with macrovascular complications.
1133 21964948 Importantly, CD4(+)CD25(hi)CD127(-) Tregs were positively correlated with plasma IL-6, whereas IL-17(+)CD4(+)cells were negatively related to high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
1134 21977009 Exposure to the viral by-product dsRNA or Coxsackievirus B5 triggers pancreatic beta cell apoptosis via a Bim / Mcl-1 imbalance.
1135 21977009 In this process, activation of the dsRNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) promotes eIF2α phosphorylation and protein synthesis inhibition, leading to downregulation of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1).
1136 21977009 Mcl-1 decrease results in the release of the BH3-only protein Bim, which activates the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.
1137 21977009 Indeed, Bim knockdown prevented both dsRNA- and Coxsackievirus B5-induced beta cell death, and counteracted the proapoptotic effects of Mcl-1 silencing.
1138 21977009 These observations indicate that the balance between Mcl-1 and Bim is a key factor regulating beta cell survival during diabetogenic viral infections.
1139 22037186 This study examines the extent to which the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) contribute to diabetic Ca(2+) dysregulation and vessel contractility in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through their interaction with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) intracellular Ca(2+) release channels.
1140 22037186 Protein expression levels of Bcl-x(L) but not Bcl-2 were elevated in VSMCs isolated from db/db compared with db/m age-matched controls.
1141 22037186 This study examines the extent to which the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) contribute to diabetic Ca(2+) dysregulation and vessel contractility in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) through their interaction with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) intracellular Ca(2+) release channels.

1143 22138235 Moreover, it increased oxidative stress (decreased antioxidant enzyme activities and GSH/GSSG ratio, increased xanthine oxidase enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation and ROS generation) and enhanced the proinflammatory cytokines levels, activity of myeloperoxidase and nuclear translocation of NFκB in the cardiac tissue of the experimental animals.
1144 22138235 In addition, taurine increased GLUT 4 translocation to the cardiac membrane by enhanced phosphorylation of IR and IRS1 at tyrosine and Akt at serine residue in the heart.
1145 22138235 Results also suggest that taurine could protect cardiac tissue from ALX induced apoptosis via the regulation of Bcl2 family and caspase 9/3 proteins.
1146 22139526 We examined the accumulation of argpyrimidine, a methylglyoxal-derived AGE, and the expression of apoptosis-related molecules including nuclear factor- kappaB (NF-κB), Bax, and Bcl-2 in the human LEC line HLE-B3 and in cataractous lenses of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an animal model of type 2 diabetes.
1147 22139526 The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 protein levels was also increased.
1148 22139526 We examined the accumulation of argpyrimidine, a methylglyoxal-derived AGE, and the expression of apoptosis-related molecules including nuclear factor- kappaB (NF-κB), Bax, and Bcl-2 in the human LEC line HLE-B3 and in cataractous lenses of Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an animal model of type 2 diabetes.
1149 22139526 The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 protein levels was also increased.
1150 22155658 Further, western blot analysis revealed the activation of caspases family proteins viz., caspase 8, caspase-9 and caspase-3.
1151 22155658 An increase in the expression of Bax mRNA concomitant with a decrease in mRNA of Bcl-2 in BEHP treated K562 cells was also observed.
1152 22179045 We identified a putative BH3 (BCL2 homology 3) domain within this N-terminal CRK fragment, which sensitizes isolated mitochondria to cytochrome c release and when mutated significantly reduces the apoptotic activity of CRK in vivo.
1153 22210314 Bcl-2-modifying factor (Bmf) was differentially upregulated (P<0.01) in RPTs of db/db mice compared with db/m+ and db/db CAT-Tg mice and in RPTs of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice in which insulin reversed this finding.
1154 22210314 In vitro, Bmf cDNA overexpression in rat RPTCs coimmunoprecipated with Bcl-2, enhanced caspase-3 activity, and promoted apoptosis.
1155 22210314 High glucose (25 mmol/L) induced Bmf mRNA expression in RPTCs, whereas rotenone, catalase, diphenylene iodinium, and apocynin decreased it.
1156 22210314 Bcl-2-modifying factor (Bmf) was differentially upregulated (P<0.01) in RPTs of db/db mice compared with db/m+ and db/db CAT-Tg mice and in RPTs of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice in which insulin reversed this finding.
1157 22210314 In vitro, Bmf cDNA overexpression in rat RPTCs coimmunoprecipated with Bcl-2, enhanced caspase-3 activity, and promoted apoptosis.

1159 22215602 The proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bim is important for negative selection by inducing apoptosis in thymocytes receiving a strong signal through their antigen receptor.
1160 22215602 To study the role of Bim in clonal deletion to TRA, we constructed bone marrow (BM) chimeras using OT-I Bim-deficient or -sufficient donor bone marrow and recipients that express membrane bound chicken ovalbumin under control of the rat insulin promoter (Rip-mOVA).
1161 22215602 We found that clonal deletion to TRA was completely abrogated in the absence of Bim and large numbers of mature OT-I CD8 T cells survived in the periphery.
1162 22220267 Induction of protective genes in the recipient (e.g., heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), A20/tumor necrosis factor alpha inducible protein3 (tnfaip3), biliverdin reductase (BVR), Bcl2, and others) or administration of one or more of the products of HO-1 to the donor, the islets themselves, and/or the recipient offers an alternative or synergistic approach to improve islet graft survival and function.
1163 22220267 In this perspective, we summarize studies describing the protective effects of these genes on islet survival and function in rodent allogeneic and xenogeneic transplantation models and the prevention of onset of diabetes, with emphasis on HO-1, A20, and BVR.
1164 22235998 Immunohistochemistry was used for identification of IL-17 and forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3)-positive cells and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for IL-17, FoxP3, retinoic acid-related orphan receptor (ROR)c and interferon (IFN)-γ transcripts.

1174 22235998 In biopsy specimens from patients with untreated CD, enhanced spontaneous secretion of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-17 was seen.
1175 22235998 Activation of anti-apoptotic bcl-2 in IL-17-treated CaCo-2 epithelial cells suggests that IL-17 might be involved in mucosal protection.
1176 22249339 Consequently, we evaluated the viability, the induction of apoptosis, the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and the expression of β-cell function genes (Isl1, Pax6, Glut-2, glucokinase) and apoptosis-related genes (Bax and Bcl2). βTC-1, βTC-6, and human islets treated, respectively, for 48 and 72 h with 15-30 nM MPA showed altered islet architecture, as compared with control cells.

1180 22266669 Under the condition of hypoxia concomitant with serum deprivation, the overexpression of PGC-1α in MSCs resulted in a higher expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (Hif-1α), a greater ratio of B-cell lymphoma leukemia-2 (Bcl-2)/Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and a lower level of caspase 3 compared with the controls, followed by an increased survival rate and an elevated expression level of several proangiogenic factors.
1181 22302365 In addition, hyperglycemia enhanced the levels of proinflammatory cytokins (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) and Na(+)--K(+)-ATPase activity with a concomitant reduction in NO content and eNOS expression in diabetic kidney.
1182 22302365 However, taurine administration decreased the elevated blood glucose and proinflammatory cytokine levels, reduced renal oxidative stress (via decrease in xanthine oxidase activity, AGEs formation and inhibition of p47phox/CYP2E1 pathways), improved renal function and protected renal tissue from alloxan-induced apoptosis via the regulation of Bcl-2 family and caspase-9/3 proteins.
1183 22341695 Exercise training enhances cardiac IGFI-R/PI3K/Akt and Bcl-2 family associated pro-survival pathways in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
1184 22347430 To this end, we presently evaluated the role of the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein delta (C/EBPδ) on β-cell apoptosis and production of inflammatory mediators in the rat insulinoma INS-1E cells, in purified primary rat β-cells and in human islets.
1185 22347430 Small interfering RNA-mediated C/EBPδ silencing exacerbated IL-1β+IFN-γ-induced caspase 9 and 3 cleavage and apoptosis in these cells.
1186 22347430 C/EBPδ deficiency increased the up-regulation of the transcription factor CHOP in response to cytokines, enhancing expression of the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member BIM.
1187 22347430 Interfering with C/EBPδ and CHOP or C/EBPδ and BIM in double knockdown approaches abrogated the exacerbating effects of C/EBPδ deficiency on cytokine-induced β-cell apoptosis, while C/EBPδ overexpression inhibited BIM expression and partially protected β-cells against IL-1β+IFN-γ-induced apoptosis.
1188 22347430 Furthermore, C/EBPδ silencing boosted cytokine-induced production of the chemokines CXCL1, 9, 10 and CCL20 in β-cells by hampering IRF-1 up-regulation and increasing STAT1 activation in response to cytokines.
1189 22367460 Bradykinin prevents the apoptosis of NIT-1 cells induced by TNF-α via the PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling pathways.
1190 22367460 These effects were associated with upregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL protein expression levels as well as with downregulation of Bax expression levels via the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.
1191 22391800 Activated caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio-biochemical markers of apoptosis-were evaluated using immunoblotting.
1192 22391800 Administering SKE at a daily dose of between 50 and 200 mg/kg to the diabetic animals for 3 weeks ameliorated hyperglycemia, weight loss, hyperalgesia, and motor deficit, inhibited caspase 3 activation, and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
1193 22391800 Activated caspase 3 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio-biochemical markers of apoptosis-were evaluated using immunoblotting.
1194 22391800 Administering SKE at a daily dose of between 50 and 200 mg/kg to the diabetic animals for 3 weeks ameliorated hyperglycemia, weight loss, hyperalgesia, and motor deficit, inhibited caspase 3 activation, and decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.
1195 22447832 Bax α protein expression was increased, while Bcl-2 was decreased.
1196 22497970 Simultaneously, resveratrol administration promoted the expression of SIRT1 in islets, while the expression of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) was restrained.
1197 22497970 Resveratrol, as well, also had a beneficial effect on the ratios of expressions of Bcl-2/Bax and levels of malondialdehyde/glutathione peroxidase.
1198 22540890 This tumor growth reduction was accompanied by the enhanced apoptotic cell death and an increase in Bax:Bcl2 ratio.
1199 22540890 The mechanism by which metformin manifests antitumor effects appears to be dependent on the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) and mTOR signaling pathways.
1200 22540890 Decreased phosphorylation of NFkB inhibitory protein IKBα together with reduced enhancement of NFkB transcriptional target proteins, iNOS/COX-2 were observed.
1201 22540890 In addition, a decrease in the activation of ERK/p38-driven MAP kinase signaling was seen.
1202 22540890 Similarly, AKT signaling activation as assessed by the diminished phosphorylation at Ser473 with a concomitant decrease in mTOR signaling pathway was also noted as phosphorylation of mTOR regulatory proteins p70S6K and 4E-BP-1 was significantly reduced.
1203 22540890 These results suggest that metformin blocks SCC growth by dampening NFkB and mTOR signaling pathways.
1204 22620683 Further study demonstrated that LA upregulated Pdx1 and Bcl2 gene expression, reduced Bax gene expression, and promoted phosphorylation of Akt in HIT-T15 cells treated with high glucose.
1205 22620683 However, inhibition of Akt by PI3K/AKT antagonist LY294002 only slightly reversed the anti-apoptosis effect of LA and mildly decreased the gene expression level of Pdx1 (P > 0.05).
1206 22644639 Moreover, EHE treatment increased activities of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in high glucose pretreated INS-1 pancreatic β-cells.
1207 22644639 EHE slightly reduced the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax induced by high glucose but increased the expression of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein.
1208 22653339 We presently observed that CHOP knockdown (KD) prevents cytokine-mediated degradation of the anti-apoptotic proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1), thereby decreasing the cleavage of executioner caspases 9 and 3, and apoptosis.
1209 22653339 CHOP KD resulted in reduced cytokine-induced NF-κB activity and expression of key NF-κB target genes involved in apoptosis and inflammation, including iNOS, FAS, IRF-7, IL-15, CCL5 and CXCL10.
1210 22718884 Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is an exopeptidase which modulates the function of its substrates, among which are insulin-releasing incretins.
1211 22718884 VG did not affect regeneration but decreased apoptosis, as shown by twofold decreased Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA expression and a threefold decrease in apoptotic bodies on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling-stained sections.
1212 22750288 In the STZ group, TUNEL-staining levels and the expression of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax were significantly increased, whereas Bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased.
1213 22750288 After the exposure to MG for 24h, cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax expression increased, whereas Bcl-2 expression decreased.
1214 22750288 These data suggest a possible link between the cognitive dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus and the neurotoxicity of MG, which may alter the expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax in the hippocampus.
1215 22750288 In the STZ group, TUNEL-staining levels and the expression of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bax were significantly increased, whereas Bcl-2 expression was significantly decreased.

1220 22750288 These data suggest a possible link between the cognitive dysfunction associated with diabetes mellitus and the neurotoxicity of MG, which may alter the expression levels of cleaved Caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax in the hippocampus.
1221 22774990 The results indicated clearly that elevated MIF secretion preceded C57BL/6 pancreatic islets death induced by interferon (IFN)-γ + tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α + interleukin (IL)-1β.
1222 22774990 Furthermore, upon exposure to cytokines pancreatic islets from MIF-KO mice maintained normal insulin expression and produced less cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) than those from wild-type C57BL6 mice.
1223 22774990 The final outcome of cytokine-induced islet apoptosis in islets from wild-type mice was the activation of mitochondrial membrane pore-forming protein Bcl-2-associated X protein and effector caspase 3.
1224 22796564 Furthermore, treatment with ALA down-regulated the Bax expression and the release of cytochrome c and AIF translocation, but up-regulated the Bcl-2 expression in SCs.
1225 22796564 Treatment with ALA attenuated the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 and minimized the cleavage of PARP in SCs.
1226 22819546 Small molecule kaempferol modulates PDX-1 protein expression and subsequently promotes pancreatic β-cell survival and function via CREB.
1227 22819546 In addition, kaempferol prevented the lipotoxicity-induced down-regulation of antiapoptotic proteins Akt and Bcl-2.
1228 22819546 The cytoprotective effects of kaempferol were associated with improved insulin secretion, synthesis, and pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1) expression.
1229 22819546 Chronic hyperlipidemia significantly diminished cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production, protein kinase A (PKA) activation, cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation and its regulated transcriptional activity in β-cells, all of which were restored by kaempferol treatment.
1230 22819546 PDX-1 gene knockdown reduced kaempferol-stimulated cAMP generation and CREB activation in INS-1E cells.
1231 22819546 These findings demonstrate that kaempferol is a novel survivor factor for pancreatic β-cells via up-regulating the PDX-1/cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling cascade.
1232 22859217 Furthermore, EPC transplantation decreased the expression of type I collagen, Bax, caspase-3 and p67phox, while increasing the expression of Bcl-2 and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD).
1233 22878185 In addition, the dieckol treatment increased the activities of antioxidative enzymes including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in high glucose-pretreated rat insulinoma cells.
1234 22878185 These effects were mediated by suppressing apoptosis and were associated with increased anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression, and reduced pro-apoptotic cleaved caspase-3 expression.
1235 22922276 Exposure of pancreatic β-cells to cytokines, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), is thought to contribute to β-cell apoptosis.
1236 22922276 One important event triggered by IL-1β is induction of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme that catalyzes intracellular generation of the cytotoxic free radical NO.
1237 22922276 Our results demonstrate that formononetin significantly prevents IL-1β-increased INS-1 cell death and blocks cytokine-induced apoptotic signaling (the reduction of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-3 activity).
1238 22986487 Body weight, food intake, lipid profiles, inflammatory markers (fibrinogen, Hs-CRP, IL-6, TNFα, and PAI-1), glycemic metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and apoptotic factors (Bcl-2 and Bax) expression were monitored.
1239 22986487 Moreover, liraglutide restored the islet structure, up-regulated Bcl-2 expression and down-regulated Bax expression.
1240 22986487 Body weight, food intake, lipid profiles, inflammatory markers (fibrinogen, Hs-CRP, IL-6, TNFα, and PAI-1), glycemic metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and apoptotic factors (Bcl-2 and Bax) expression were monitored.
1241 22986487 Moreover, liraglutide restored the islet structure, up-regulated Bcl-2 expression and down-regulated Bax expression.
1242 23054864 The results showed breast cancer cells respond in a diverse manner to LiCl, i.e., at lower concentrations (1, 5, and 10 mM), LiCl induces cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through regulation of GSK-3β, caspase-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-7 and by activating anti-apoptotic proteins (Akt, β-catenin, Bcl-2, and cyclin D1).
1243 23138840 In addition, ALX exposure reciprocally regulated Bcl-2 family protein expression, disturbed mitochondrial membrane potential, and subsequently released cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol.
1244 23160962 Further investigation found that upregulation of Bax and downregulation of Bcl2 was indeed induced by its expression, especially under high glucose conditions.
1245 23193206 Caspase induction and BCL2 inhibition in human adipose tissue: a potential relationship with insulin signaling alteration.

1289 23328586 The O-GlcNAc cycling mutants act, in part, by altering insulin signaling, proteasome activity and autophagy.
1290 23328586 In mutants lacking either of these enzymes of O-GlcNAc cycling, there is a striking accumulation of GFP::LGG-1 (C. elegans homolog of Atg8 and LC3) and increased phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-modified GFP::LGG-1 upon starvation.

1369 23638232 Immunohistochemically, the lymphoid cells were positive for vimentin, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD10, CD15, CD20, CD23, CD30, CD43, CD38, CD138, CD45RO, CD79α, bcl-2, bcl-6, κ-chain, λ-chain, and Ki-67 (labeling index=7%).

1373 23657598 High glucose induces mitochondrial p53 phosphorylation by p38 MAPK in pancreatic RINm5F cells.
1374 23657598 This increased phosphorylation correlated with an increase in reactive oxygen species, a decrease in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, a release of cytochrome c and an increase in the rate of apoptosis.
1375 23657598 To identify the kinase responsible for phosphorylating p53, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation was analysed.
1376 23657598 We found that high glucose induced an increase in p38 MAPK phosphorylation in the mitochondria after 24-72 h.
1377 23657598 Moreover, the phosphorylation of p53 (ser392) by p38 MAPK in mitochondria was confirmed by colocalisation studies with confocal microscopy.
1378 23657598 The addition of a specific p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) to the culture medium during high glucose treatment blocked p53 mobilisation to the mitochondria and phosphorylation; thus, the release of cytochrome c and the apoptosis rate in RINm5F cells decreased.
1379 23657598 These results suggest that mitochondrial p53 phosphorylation by p38 MAPK plays an important role in RINm5F cell death under high glucose conditions.

1427 23884888 β-cell-specific IL-2 therapy increases islet Foxp3+Treg and suppresses type 1 diabetes in NOD mice.
1428 23884888 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a critical cytokine for the homeostasis and function of forkhead box p3-expressing regulatory T cells (Foxp3(+)Tregs).
1429 23884888 Dysregulation of the IL-2-IL-2 receptor axis is associated with aberrant Foxp3(+)Tregs and T cell-mediated autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes.
1430 23884888 Treatment with recombinant IL-2 has been reported to enhance Foxp3(+)Tregs and suppress different models of autoimmunity.
1431 23884888 However, efficacy of IL-2 therapy is dependent on achieving sufficient levels of IL-2 to boost tissue-resident Foxp3(+)Tregs while avoiding the potential toxic effects of systemic IL-2.
1432 23884888 Injection of a double-stranded AAV vector encoding IL-2 driven by a mouse insulin promoter (dsAAVmIP-IL2) increased Foxp3(+)Tregs in the islets but not the draining pancreatic lymph nodes.
