Abstract

The mechanism of action of the oncogene bcl-2, a key regulator of the apoptotic process, is still debated. We have employed organelle-targeted chimeras of the Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, to investigate in detail the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. In the ER and the Golgi apparatus, Bcl-2 overexpression increases the Ca2+ leak (while leaving Ca2+ accumulation unaffected), hence reducing the steady-state [Ca2+] levels. As a direct consequence, the [Ca2+] increases caused by inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate (IP3)-generating agonists were reduced in amplitude in both the cytosol and the mitochondria. Bcl-2 overexpression also reduced the rate of Ca2+ influx activated by Ca2+ store depletion, possibly by an adaptive downregulation of this pathway. By interfering with Ca2+-dependent events at multiple intracellular sites, these effects of Bcl-2 on intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis may contribute to the protective role of this oncogene against programed cell death.

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.
