Abstract
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) selectively express Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 and TLR-9, which allow them to rapidly secrete massive amounts of type I interferons after sensing nucleic acids derived from viruses or bacteria. It is not completely understood how development and function of pDCs are controlled at the transcriptional level. One of the main factors driving pDC development is the ETS factor Spi-B, but little is known about its target genes. Here we demonstrate that Spi-B is crucial for the differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into pDCs by controlling survival of pDCs and its progenitors. In search for Spi-B target genes, we identified the antiapoptotic gene Bcl2-A1 as a specific and direct target gene, thereby consolidating the critical role of Spi-B in cell survival.

Abstract
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) is characterised by the progressive accumulation of monoclonal CD5(+) B cells. In a previous study, we have analysed the expression profile of apoptosis-regulating genes using a cDNA-based microarray and found overexpression of the antiapoptotic bcl-2 family member, bfl-1, in B-CLL cells with an apoptosis-resistant phenotype. In this study, bfl-1 mRNA levels have been determined by competitive PCR in an extended population of B-CLL patients to characterise its role in disease progression and development of chemoresistance. bfl-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with no response (NR) to last chemotherapy than in patients responding (partial response (PR)) to last chemotherapy (P<0.05) and in patients who had not required treatment (P<0.05). We found no correlation between bfl-1 mRNA levels and disease progression, IGHV mutational status or other clinical parameters. In addition, bfl-1 mRNA levels were inversely correlated with apoptotic response to in vitro fludarabine treatment of B-CLL cells. Specific downregulation of bfl-1 using siRNA induced apoptosis in resistant cells. Our data suggest that bfl-1 contributes to chemoresistance and might be a therapeutic target in B-CLL.

Abstract
Irrespective of the morphological features of end-stage cell death (that may be apoptotic, necrotic, autophagic, or mitotic), mitochondrial membrane permeabilization (MMP) is frequently the decisive event that delimits the frontier between survival and death. Thus mitochondrial membranes constitute the battleground on which opposing signals combat to seal the cell's fate. Local players that determine the propensity to MMP include the pro- and antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family, proteins from the mitochondrialpermeability transition pore complex, as well as a plethora of interacting partners including mitochondrial lipids. Intermediate metabolites, redox processes, sphingolipids, ion gradients, transcription factors, as well as kinases and phosphatases link lethal and vital signals emanating from distinct subcellular compartments to mitochondria. Thus mitochondria integrate a variety of proapoptotic signals. Once MMP has been induced, it causes the release of catabolic hydrolases and activators of such enzymes (including those of caspases) from mitochondria. These catabolic enzymes as well as the cessation of the bioenergetic and redox functions of mitochondria finally lead to cell death, meaning that mitochondria coordinate the late stage of cellular demise. Pathological cell death induced by ischemia/reperfusion, intoxication with xenobiotics, neurodegenerative diseases, or viral infection also relies on MMP as a critical event. The inhibition of MMP constitutes an important strategy for the pharmaceutical prevention of unwarranted cell death. Conversely, induction of MMP in tumor cells constitutes the goal of anticancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Pre-T-cell receptor (pre-TCR) functions and the study of early thymocyte development continue to fascinate immunologists more than 10 years after the first description and cloning of the receptor. Although multiple reports have addressed several aspects of pre-TCR signaling and function, its ability to regulate diverse functions, including proliferation, survival, and allelic exclusion of the TCR-beta locus, remains an open question. What fascinates us is its central role in the fine balance between physiological differentiation and thymocyte transformation that leads to T-cell leukemia and lymphomas. In this review, we integrate pre-TCR signaling pathways and study their effects on the regulation of T-cell progenitor cell-cycle entry and cell survival. We also connect aberrant pre-TCR signaling to deregulated proliferation and apoptotic balances and thymocyte transformation.

Abstract
The potent anti-cancer agent cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) is currently used for treating bladder cancer. However, clinical use of this drug for long periods is often limited because of the appearance of cisplatin-resistant bladder tumor cells. We employed the method of a differential display reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to identify the differentially expressed genes in the parental human bladder cancer cell line, T24 and three cisplatin-resistant cell lines. We report here that cisplatin-resistant cell lines overexpress Bcl-2 family protein Bcl-2-related gene expressed in fetal liver (Bfl-1)/A1 as compared with their parental cell. Cisplatin and gamma-irradiation induced expression of Bfl-1/A1 in T24R2 cells but not in T24 cells. Among Bcl-2 family members, Bfl-1/A1 showed the most significant alteration of the expression level in resistant cells. The nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) by cisplatin and gamma-irradiation selectively occurred in T24R2 cells. Mitochondrial depolarization and cell death by cisplatin were also prevented in T24R2 cells. Moreover, Bfl-1/A1 inhibited cisplatin- and TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis in BOSC23 cells. Our findings suggest that the induction of Bfl-1/A1 by NF-kappaB may be important in controlling resistance to cisplatin responses in bladder tumor cells.

Abstract
Suppression of the cellular apoptotic program by the oncogenic herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is central to both the establishment of latent infection and the development of EBV-associated malignancies. We have previously shown that expression of the EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) in Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines leads to increased mRNA levels from the cellular antiapoptotic bfl-1 gene (also known as A1). Furthermore, ectopic expression of Bfl-1 in an EBV-positive cell line exhibiting a latency type 1 infection protects against apoptosis induced by growth factor deprivation (B. N. D'Souza, M. Rowe, and D. Walls, J. Virol. 74:6652-6658, 2000). We now report that LMP1 drives bfl-1 promoter activity through interactions with components of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)/CD40 signaling pathway. We present evidence that this process is NF-kappa B dependent, involves the recruitment of TNFR-associated factor 2, and is mediated to a greater extent by the carboxyl-terminal activating region 2 (CTAR2) relative to the CTAR1 domain of LMP1. Activation of CD40 receptor also led to increased bfl-1 mRNA levels and an NF-kappa B-dependent increase in bfl-1 promoter activity in Burkitt's lymphoma-derived cell lines. We have delineated a 95-bp region of the promoter that functions as an LMP1-dependent transcriptional enhancer in this cellular context. This sequence contains a novel NF-kappa B-like binding motif that is essential for transactivation of bfl-1 by LMP1, CD40, and the NF-kappa B subunit protein p65. These findings highlight the role of LMP1 as a mediator of EBV-host cell interactions and may indicate an important route by which it exerts its cellular growth transforming properties.

Abstract
Bfl-1 is an antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family member and a mouse A1 homologue. The mouse A1 has been reported to have three isoforms, but little is known about human Bfl-1. By reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis, we have identified Bfl-1S (short form), an alternative splice variant of Bfl-1. The Bfl-1S primary sequence contains four conserved Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains and a positive-charged C-terminus containing KKRK amino acids. The expression of Bfl-1S mRNA was detected predominantly in normal lymph nodes and in B-lymphoid leukemia cells. Confocal microscopic analysis using green fluorescence protein fusion proteins demonstrated that Bfl-1S is localized in the nucleus by its C-terminus as an intrinsic nuclear localization sequence. Bfl-1S acts as an antiapoptotic agent in coexpression experiments with Bax, a proapoptotic molecule. The expression of Bfl-1S provided significant resistance against staurosporine (STS) treatments in Molt-4 human T-leukemia cells. Bfl-1S also significantly inhibited the cleavage of Bid, and of caspases 3 and 8 against STS treatment. These results indicate that Bfl-1S is a novel human Bcl-2 family member that possesses antiapoptotic function.

Abstract
Bcl-x is a member of the Bcl2 family and has been suggested to be important for the survival and maturation of various cell types including the erythroid lineage. To define the consequences of Bcl-x loss in erythroid cells and other adult tissues, we have generated mice conditionally deficient in the Bcl-x gene using the Cre-loxP recombination system. The temporal and spatial excision of the floxed Bcl-x locus was achieved by expressing the Cre recombinase gene under control of the MMTV-LTR. By the age of five weeks, Bcl-x conditional mutant mice exhibited hyperproliferation of megakaryocytes and a decline in the number of circulating platelets. Three-month-old animals suffered from severe hemolytic anemia, hyperplasia of immature erythroid cells and profound enlargement of the spleen. We demonstrate that Bcl-x is only required for the survival of erythroid cells at the end of maturation, which includes enucleated reticulocytes in circulation. The extensive proliferation of immature erythroid cells in the spleen and bone marrow might be the result of a fast turnover of late red blood cell precursors and accelerated erythropoiesis in response to tissue hypoxia. The increase in cell death of late erythroid cells is independent from the proapoptotic factor Bax, as demonstrated in conditional double mutant mice for Bcl-x and Bax. Mice conditionally deficient in Bcl-x permitted us for the first time to study the effects of Bcl-x deficiency on cell proliferation, maturation and survival under physiological conditions in an adult animal.

Abstract
The recently identified bfl-1 gene (also known as A1 or GRS), a homologue of bcl-2, encodes an antiapoptotic protein that suppresses apoptosis induced by the p53 tumor suppressor protein and exhibits proliferative and potent cooperative transforming activities. We show that elevated levels of bfl-1 mRNA are a feature of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized B-cell lines and Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines expressing the full spectrum of EBV latent proteins. Using an EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphoma cell line in which the expression of EBV latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is inducibly regulated by tetracycline, we demonstrate that LMP1 expression coincides with a dramatic increase in the level of bfl-1 mRNA. Also in this system, an increase in the level of Bcl-2 protein was seen to occur earlier than that of bcl-2 mRNA, suggesting that both transcriptional and translational mechanisms are involved in the control of Bcl-2 expression by LMP-1. We show that elevated bfl-1 mRNA stability can contribute to this effect of LMP-1, thus providing evidence of a novel mechanism of gene regulation by this EBV protein. Upregulation of bfl-1 by LMP1 was not observed in the T-cell line Jurkat or the epithelial cell line C33A. Ectopic expression of Bfl-1 in an EBV-positive cell line exhibiting a latency type I infection protects against apoptosis induced by growth factor deprivation, thereby providing a functional role for Bfl-1 in this cellular context and adding Bfl-1 to the list of antiapoptotic proteins whose expression is modulated by EBV. This is the first report of the regulation of bfl-1 expression by a viral protein, and this novel finding may thus represent an important link between the EBV oncoprotein LMP1 and its cellular growth-transforming properties.

Abstract
Gastric epithelial turnover is a dynamic process. It is characterized by continuous cell proliferation, which is counterbalanced by cell loss. The biological principle that mediates the homeostasis of epithelium is programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Currently, several subtypes of apoptosis are distinguished, which are mediated by different mechanisms. Various subtypes of apoptosis also occur in the gastric epithelium under various conditions. In the normal stomach, apoptosis due to cell isolation (anoikis) mediates the physiological epithelial turnover. Albeit rarely seen in routine histology, approximately 2% of epithelial cells in the normal stomach are apoptotic. In Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis, apoptosis and epithelial proliferation are moderately increased, with approximately 8% apoptotic epithelial cells. In gastritis, factors such as CD95 ligand or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha act as death factors. They bind to specific receptors, CD95 and TNF-R, which are induced either by other cytokines, such as interferon gamma, or by Helicobacter pylori itself. In addition to CD95, H.pylorican also induce upregulation of CD95 ligand expression. Taken together, the upregulated expression of CD95, and the presence of CD95L in the close proximity to apoptotic gastric epithelial cells suggest a functional role of the CD95-CD95L system in the induction of apoptosis in H.pylori-gastritis. The role of other pathways to apoptosis is currently under study. Apart from being a biological phenomenon, apoptosis in the stomach may also have direct clinical consequences. An extreme example is given in gastric graft-vs.-host disease when epithelial denudement occurs.

Abstract
Bcl-2-family proteins are key regulators of the apoptotic response. Here, we demonstrate that the pro-survival Bcl-2 homolog Bfl-1/A1 is a direct transcriptional target of NF-kappaB. We show that bfl-1 gene expression is dependent on NF-kappaB activity and that it can substitute for NF-kappaB to suppress TNFalpha-induced apoptosis. bfl-1 promoter analysis identified an NF-kappaB site responsible for its Rel/NF-kappaB-dependent induction. The expression of bfl-1 in immune tissues supports the protective role of NF-kappaB in the immune system. The activation of Bfl-1 may be the means by which NF-kappaB functions in oncogenesis and promotes cell resistance to anti-cancer therapy.
