Jun 27, 2014 · Recent studies have shown that BIM, a pro-apoptotic BCL2-family protein, is required for endothelial cell apoptosis in vivo, and can contribute to the anti-angiogenic effect of...

The Bcl-2 homology 3 domain-only protein, Bim, has been proposed to have a key role in the apoptosis response of an epithelial cell line with reduced sensitivity to loss of integrin signaling, which undergoes apoptosis over a period of several days in suspension culture.

Aug 12, 2019 · Therapeutic manipulation of the BCL-2 family using BH3 mimetics is an emerging paradigm in cancer treatment and immune modulation. For example, peptides mimicking the BIM BH3 helix can directly target the full complement of anti- and pro-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins to trigger apoptosis.

Jan 15, 1998 · Three Bim isoforms, probably generated by alternative splicing, all induce apoptosis, the shortest being the most potent. Wild-type Bcl-2 associates with Bim in vivo and modulates its death function, whereas Bcl-2 mutants that lack survival function do neither.

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) regulates essential cellular functions such as cellular proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Multiple apoptotic mediators and signaling pathways have been implicated in TGFβ-induced apoptosis. Bim, a BH3-only protein, is critical for apoptosis in a variety of cell types.

Jan 4, 2013 · Bim silencing or microinjection of anti-Bim antibodies into the cell cytoplasm resulted in cell rounding, detachment, and subsequent apoptosis. We observed up-regulation of prosurvival proteins Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, which sequester Bim in cancer cells.

Oct 21, 2011 · Using genetically modified mouse models, we report here that p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (Puma) and Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim), two pro-apoptotic members of the...

Jul 17, 2014 · Our results suggest that Bim upregulation and apoptosis is mediated by the p38MAPK-dependent pathway. Our findings show that Bim is a master regulator of apoptosis induced by M....

Bim silencing or microinjection of anti-Bim antibodies into the cell cytoplasm resulted in cell rounding, detachment, and subsequent apoptosis. We observed up-regulation of prosurvival proteins Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, which sequester Bim in cancer cells.

Nov 2, 2004 · Defective apoptosis not only promotes tumorigenesis, but also can confound chemotherapeutic response. Here we demonstrate that the proapoptotic BH3-only protein BIM is a tumor suppressor in epithelial solid tumors and also is a …
