c-Myc-induced sensitization to apoptosis is mediated through cytochrome c release
Open accessAbstract
Expression of c-Myc sensitizes cells to a wide range of pro-apoptotic stimuli. We here show that this pro-apoptotic effect is mediated through release of mitochondrial holocytochrome c into the cytosol. First, activation of c-Myc triggers release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. This release is caspase-independent and blocked by the survival factor IGF-1. Second, c-Myc-induced apoptosis is blocked by microinjection of anticytochrome c antibody. In addition, we show that microinjection of holocytochrome c mimics the effect of c-Myc activation, sensitizing cells to DNA damage and to the CD95 pathway. Both p53 and CD95/Fas signaling have been implicated in c-Myc-induced apoptosis but neither was required for c-Myc-induced cytochrome c release. Nonetheless, inhibition of CD95 signaling in fibroblasts did prevent c-Myc-induced apoptosis, apparently by obstructing the ability of cytosolic cytochrome c to activate caspases. We conclude that c-Myc promotes apoptosis by causing the release of cytochrome c, but the ability of cytochrome c to activate apoptosis is critically dependent upon other signals.

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.
