Immunoblot analysis of cellular expression of Bcl-2 family proteins, Bcl-2, Bax, Bcl-X and Mcl-1, in human peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues.

Abstract:

:The ability of Bcl-2 to inhibit apoptotic cell death is well established. Several homologues of the bcl-2 gene, such as bax, bcl-x or mcl-1, have recently been identified. Like Bcl-2, both Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 appear to function as repressors of apoptotic cell death, whereas Bax facilitates it, indicating possible interactions among them in the control of cellular survival. To investigate the in vivo role of expression of bcl-2 gene family products, immunoblot analysis using corresponding specific antisera was performed for peripheral blood cells and some lymphoid tissues in humans. We demonstrated that all Bcl-2 family proteins were expressed at various levels in hematolymphoid cell subpopulations isolated from peripheral blood, tonsil, spleen and thymus. Lymphoid expression of Bcl-2 family proteins tended to increase following activation, but declined with time in culture. Loss of Bcl-2 in cultured lymphoid cells was especially marked. Sole expression of Bax, but not other members of the Bcl-2 family, was observed on neutrophils, seemingly reflecting their shortest life-span among blood leukocytes. The results support the notion that a balance of expression of Bcl-2 family proteins may regulate the life and death of hematolymphoid cells at different stages of cell differentiation and activation.
