Ischemia Cell Biology
Findings from San Diego State University broaden understanding of ischemia cell biology
Published in Biotech Business Week, December 15th, 2008
A new study, 'Bnip3 functions as a mitochondrial sensor of oxidative stress during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion,' is now available. "Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (Bnip3) is a member of the Bcl-2 homology domain 3-only subfamily of proapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins and is associated with cell death in the myocardium. In this study, we investigated the potential mechanism(s) by which Bnip3 activity is regulated," researchers in the United States report.
"We found that Bnip3 forms a DTT-sensitive homodimer that increased after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). The presence of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine reduced I/R-induced...
