In the present study we demonstrated that the anti-apoptotic function of Bcl-2 in mast cells is significantly dependent upon its association with the heat shock protein 90(Hsp90). Dissociation of these two proteins inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2 by initiating release of cytochrome C from mitochondria into cytosol and increasing activity of caspase 3 and caspase 7, resulting in mast cells apoptosis. The anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2 was greatly affected by knocking-out specifically Hsp90 using the RNA interference approach. Thus, for the first time it has been shown that Hsp90 might modulate the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2 at least in mast cells. These findings could implicate for a novel strategy of regulating apoptosis in mastocytotic patients and other mast cells associated diseases.
