To examine the effect of tumor suppressor protein p53 on the antitumor activity of 2- methoxyestradiol (2-MeO-E2), 2-MeO-E2-induced cell cycle changes and apoptotic events were compared between the human colon carcinoma cell lines HCT116 (p53(+/+)) and HCT116 (p53(-/-)). When both cell types were exposed to 2-MeO-E2, a reduction in the cell viability and an enhancement in the proportions of G2/M cells and apoptotic sub-G1 cells commonly occurred dose-dependently. These 2-MeO-E2-induced cellular…

Tumor-suppressor Protein p53 Sensitizes Human Colorectal Carcinoma HCT116 Cells to 17α-estradiol-induced Apoptosis via Augmentation of Bak/Bax Activation

Together, the results show that among the components of the 17α-E₂-induced apoptotic-signaling pathway, which proceeds through mitotic spindle defects causing mitotic arrest, subsequent activation of Bak and Bax and the mitochondria-dependent caspase cascade, leading to PARP degradation, 17 α-E ₁-induced activation of bakery is the upstream target of proapoptotic action of p53.

Bcl-2 blocks 2-methoxyestradiol induced leukemia cell apoptosis by a p27(Kip1)-dependent G1/S cell cycle arrest in conjunction with NF-kappaB activation.

p53 controls both the G2/M and the G1 cell cycle checkpoints and mediates reversible growth arrest in human fibroblasts.

It is confirmed that p53 can mediate arrest at this stage, as well as in G1, and that irreversible arrest must involve processes other than or in addition to the interaction of p53-induced p21/WAF1 with G1 and G2 cyclin-dependent kinases.

Activation of Pro-Apoptotic Multidomain Bcl-2 Family Member Bak and Mitochondria-Dependent Caspase Cascade are Involved in p-Coumaric Acid-Induced Apoptosis in Human Jurkat T Cells

It is demonstrated that p-coumaric acid-induced apoptogenic activity in Jurkat T cellswas mediated by Bak activation, Δψm loss, and subsequent activation of multiple caspases such as caspase-9, -3, -7, and-8, and PARP degradation, which could be regulated by anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2.

2-Methoxyestradiol Induces Cell Cycle Arrest and Mitotic Cell Apoptosis in Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

2-ME treatment not only arrests cells in mitosis and promotes mitotic cell apoptosis, but also causes cells to undergo “mitotic slippage” and endoreduplication.

2-Methoxyestradiol-induced apoptosis in human leukemia cells proceeds through a reactive oxygen species and Akt-dependent process

A hierarchical model of 2-Methoxyestradiol-related apoptosis induction in human leukemia cells is suggested in which 2ME-induced oxidative injury represents a primary event resulting in Akt inactivation, leading, in turn, to JNK activation, and culminating in XIAP and Mcl-1 downregulation, mitochondrial injury, and apoptosis.

Negative regulation of bcl-2 expression by p53 in hematopoietic cells

The TATA sequence in the bcl-2 P2 minimal promoter is the target for repression by p53, and the interaction between p53 and TBP is most likely responsible for the repression.

Down-regulation of bcl-2 by p53 in breast cancer cells.

It is found that overexpression of a mutant p53 (mut 175) in MCF-7 cells could induce down-regulation of bcl-2 both at protein and mRNA level, however, the promoter region of the human bCl-2 gene does not contain the negative regulatory element responsible for the down- regulation.
