Cloning of human Bcl-2 homologue: inflammatory cytokines induce human A1 in
cultured endothelial cells
A Karsan, E Yee, K Kaushansky and JM Harlan
Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology, University of Washington,
Seattle, 98195, USA.
Bcl-2 is an intracellular membrane-associated protein that functions to
block programmed cell death. Despite recurrent exposure to cellular toxins
from the circulation and tissue, endothelial cells are remarkably resistant
to cell death. Because Bcl-2 protein levels are low or undetectable in
endothelial cells, we postulated that other members of the growing Bcl-2
family would be present in endothelial cells to provide protection against
apoptosis. Degenerate primers to two conserved regions of the Bcl-2 family
were used to amplify potential homologues in endothelial cells. This
strategy resulted in the isolation of a human Bcl-2 homologue related to
murine Al, a recently identified member of this family. We show here that,
in endothelial cells, human Al is rapidly inducible by phorbol ester and
the inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-
1beta, but not by the growth factors, basic fibroblast growth factor or
vascular endothelial growth factor. Al is the only known Bcl-2 family
member that is inducible by inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that it may
play a protective role during inflammation. Additionally, vascular smooth
muscle cells and various nonhematopoietic tissues express human Al,
indicating that human Al is a widely expressed Bcl-2 homologue.
