  1. Bcl-2 and its Role in Cancer

  2. Mitochondria in the Cell http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/cells/mitochondria/images/mitochondriafigure1.jpg

  3. Cytochrome C’s Dual Functionality Protein that carries electrons in electron transport chain between mitochondrial membranes BUT released into cytosol, triggers apoptosis http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Cytochrome_C.png/250px-Cytochrome_C.png

  4. Bcl-2 family – apoptosis regulators http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understandingcancer/targetedtherapies/lymphoma_htmlcourse/page3

  5. http://www.reading.ac.uk/nitricoxide/intro/apoptosis/mito2.jpghttp://www.reading.ac.uk/nitricoxide/intro/apoptosis/mito2.jpg Apoptosis Pathway Stress signal (DNA damage, heat shock) Pro-apoptotic members activated Cytochrome c release via MOMP Cytochrome c complexes with ATP and Apaf-1 (enzyme) Caspase-9 activated, then forms apoptosome with previous complex Caspase cascade to apoptosis

  6. Bcl-2 Knockout Mice • Viable, but smaller • Half die by 6 weeks • Smaller kidneys • Skeletal development • Immune failure http://openi.nlm.nih.gov/detailedresult.php?img=2132464_JCB.amling5g&req=4
