Abstract

The protooncogene bcl-2, which has been implicated in B-cell lymphoma development, inhibits apoptosis due to growth factor withdrawal in some, but not all, hematopoietic cells. Recently we found that bcl-2 also inhibits apoptosis in PC12 pheochromocytoma cells. We now report that bcl-2 inhibits the death of a central neural cell line due to serum and growth factor withdrawal, the calcium ionophore A23187, glucose withdrawal, membrane peroxidation, and, in some cases, free radical-induced damage. This broad range of protective effects of BCL-2 protein suggests that BCL-2 may interact with a central step in neural cell death. Measurements of intracellular free calcium suggest that BCL-2 alters the transduction of neural death signals at a point distal to the rise in intracellular free calcium.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
