Neuroprotective effects of bcl‐2 overexpression in hippocampal cultures: interactions with pathways of oxidative damage

Abstract: Overexpression of bcl-2 protects neurons from numerous necrotic insults, both in vitro and in vivo. While the bulk of such protection is thought to arise from Bcl-2 blocking cytochrome c release from mitochondria, thereby blocking apoptosis, the protein can target other steps in apoptosis, and can protect against necrotic cell death as well. There is evidence that these additional actions may be antioxidant in nature, in that Bcl-2 has been reported to protect against generators of reactive oxygen species (ROS… Show more

“…Indeed, it is thought that excess intracellular non-esterified free fatty acid is a contributor to the progression of the renal disease oftentimes associated with obesity [26,27]. Moreover, FFA overload can also stimulate the synthesis of triglycerides (TGs), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL), which may be lipotoxic, especially if the LDL becomes oxidized LDL [2].…”

“…This oxidative stress results in oxidative damage, including lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage, which can lead to cell death (62). Multiple lines of evidence demonstrate that reactive oxygen species are generated during reperfusion, hypoxia, and reoxygenation and cause oxidative damage to important cellular components that contributes to cell death (2,3,22,53,57). We therefore examined brain tissues from euthermic, hibernating, and late-arousal AGS for cellular damage and oxidative modification.…”

“…were rapidly down-regulated after glutamate incubation. In this regard, Bcl-2 overexpression in the central nervous system has been shown to protect cells from glutamate toxicity (Behl et al, 1993;Lawrence et al, 1996;Howard et al, 2002).…”
