Role of Reactive Oxygen Species and Bcl-2 Family Proteins in TNF-α-Induced Apoptosis of Lymphocytes

Abstract: We studied the in vitro apoptosis-inducing effect of recombinant TNF-α (rTNF-α) on blood lymphocytes from healthy donors. rTNF-α-induced apoptosis was accompanied by an increase in the number of cells with low mitochondrial transmembrane potential, increased intracellular content of reactive oxygen species, reduced content of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bax proteins, and elevated Bad content. The molecular mechanisms of these changes are discussed.

“…It is unclear whether plasma can induce regulatory T-cells and influence thereby T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases, however, it does reduce T-cell number similarly as observed after UVB irradiation (Kohlhardt-Floehr et al 2010). On the other hand, an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species, which can also be generated by plasma, induces apoptosis in lymphocytes (Ryazanceva et al 2010). Hydrogen peroxide has been shown to decrease T H1 cells with no change of T H2 cells .…”
