    The commitment to programmed cell death involves complex interactions among pro- and antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. The physiological result of a decision by these proteins to undergo cell death is permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane. Pharmacologic manipulation of proteins in this family appears both feasible and efficacious, whether the goal is decreased cell death, as in ischemia of the myocardium or brain, or increased cell death, as in cancer.

    bcl-2 암유전자는 여러 가지 자극에 의한 apoptosis를 차단함으로써 유전자 이상을 가진 세포가 계속 생존하면서 유전자 변이가 누적되는 결과를 초래한다고 알려져 있다. 한편 c-myc 암유전자는 세포증식과 apoptosis를 유도하는 이중적 기능을 가지고 있으며 생존 신호가 결여될 경우에는 오히려 세포의 apoptosis를 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 c-myc과 bcl-2가 동시에 발현되면 bcl-2는 c-myc의 세포증식 작용은 영향을 주지 않고 apoptosis만을 선택적으로 차단함으로써 유전자 변이 세포의 생존 뿐만 아니라 증식을 촉진하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 자궁경부암에서 c-myc과 bcl-2 발현에 관한 개별적 보고는 있었으나 이들 두 유전자의 동시발현 및 이들 유전자들이 실제 암조직상에서 세포증식 및 apoptosis에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 관한 연구는 보고된 것이 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자궁경부암 발생 과정중에서 bcl-2 및 c-myc 발현과 세포증식, apoptosis와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 10개의 정상 자궁경부조직, 30개의 자궁경부 상피내종양 조직, 20개의 자궁경부암조직에서 bcl-2와 c-myc에 대한 면역조직화학 검사를 시행하였으며 세포증식과 apoptosis는 각각 Ki-67 면역조직화학적 방법과 TUNEL 방법으로 확인하였다. 또한 환자의 임상병리학적 인자들과의 상관관계도 알아보았다. 정상 자궁경부, 자궁경부 상피내종양, 자궁경부암조직 중 자궁경부암조직에서만 bcl-2와 c-myc 단백이 각각 35%와 50%에서 관찰되었으며, 또한 bcl-2와 c-myc의 동시발현이 25%에서 관찰되었다. 세포증식 지수(상피세포 100개중 Ki-67양성 세포수)는 정상 자궁경부, 상피내종양, 자궁경부암으로 진행되면서 10.2, 24.1, 59.7, 71.2로 유의하게 증가하는 양상을 보였으며(p<0.01), apoptosis 지수(상피세포 100개중 apoptosis 세포수)도 0, 0.33, 1.85, 3.89로 점차 증가하는 양상을 보였다(p<0.01). 또한 세포증식 지수와 apoptosis 지수와는 높은 상관관계(r=0.7451, p=0.0002)를 나타내었다. 그러나 자궁경부암 조직중 bcl-2 발현군과 비발현군간에 apoptosis지수에는 차이가 없었으며(p=0.4765), c-myc 발현군과 비발현군간에도 세포증식 지수에는 차이가 없었다(p=0.6891). 또한 bcl-2와 c-myc의 동시 발현군과 나머지 군간에도 증식지수와 apoptosis 지수에 차이가 없었다(각각 p=0.6311 및 p=0.7600). 한편 bcl-2와 c-myc의 동시 발현과 잘 알려져 있는 자궁경부암의 임상병리학적 예후인자들(종양 크기, FIGO 임상병기, 림프절 전이등)과는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 이상과 같은 결과에서 자궁경부암발생 과정에서 세포증식과 apoptosis는 병변의 등급과 비례하여 증가하고 apoptosis는 세포증식과 관련된 변화로 사료되었다. 한편 bcl-2와 c-myc과 발현은 자궁경부암에서만 관찰되는 유전자 변이로서 자궁경부 상피내종양의 발생과 진행과정에는 영향을 미치지 않으며, 또한 자궁경부암 조직에서도 암조직 전체의 세포증식 및 apoptosis와는 관련이 없을 것으로 사료되었다.

    Bcl-2 family proteins are the key regulators of cell apoptosis.Bfl-1/hA1 has been well studied among anti-apoptosis protein family members although as a later member in Bcl-2 family.It plays an important role in the up-stream activation and down-stream effect of cell anti-apoptosis mechanism by its special domain structure.It also exerts great impacts on the development of apoptosis related diseases,such as inflammation and hematological cancer.Anti-apoptosis protein Bfl-1/hA1 may be a new therapeutic target of apoptosis-related diseases.

    There are two distinct modes of cell death: necrosis and apoptosis. Apoptosis is an active process that may require gene expression and protein synthesis, and for this reason apoptosis has been called programmed cell death. Cancer cells in culture exposed to several anticancer drugs show morphological and biochemical characteristics consistent with apoptosis. This observation has possible impact on chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. In this article we survey apoptosis, with emphasis on the relationship between apoptosis and anticancer drugs.

    AIM To investigate the effect of cisplatin on apoptosis in Scaber cell. METHODS The apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL,HE,eletronic micrpscopy. RESULTS Treatment of Scaber cells with CDDP resulted in characteristics typical of apoptosis. CDDP induced apoptosis of Scaber cells in time and concentration dependent manner. To further investigate the mechanism of apoptosis induced by CDDP, the expressions and activity of apoptosis associated proteins such as bcl 2, bax and caspase 3 were examined using S P method.The results showed: CDDP caused time and concentration dependent decreases in bcl 2 and increased in bax proteins.CDDP bcl 2 and its translocation to perinuclei and nuclei. The expression of caspase 3 in Scaber cell were determined during apoptosis induced by CDDP. CONCLUSION Our investigetion showed that the apoptosis induced by CDDP is related to the increase of bax protein, and the decrease of bcl 2 protein. and its translocation to perinuclei and nuclei.

    Using the described experimental conditions whole anti-chick embryo hamster serum placed in proximity to the pre-incubated chick embryo stops the development of these embryos at a time which corresponds to the time the embryo antigen was obtained. Even though the experimental factors are complex the experimental series differed sharply from the controls. The anti-embryo serum also produced anomalies and a high mortality in the treated series. These experiments show clearly that chick embryos contain distinctive antigenic materials which are related to the embryo's age. The instep order of the results in the recipient embryos points strongly to the development of qualitatively different protein complexes in the embryo concurrent with the embryo's growth

    The inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family is at present the only one kind of blockers of the caspase family of cysteine proteases. It plays an essential role as a regulator in apoptosis. In according to recent researches, this article summarized the action of caspase family in apoptosis, the structure characteristics of IAP family, anti-apoptosis principle of IAP family and its negative control. To understand more about apoptosis may provide us with some important strategies for treating diseases related to apoptotic imbalance.
