Abstract excerpt
Apoptotic myonuclei appear during myogenesis and in diseased muscles. To investigate cell death regulation in skeletal muscle, we examined how members of the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis regulators are expressed and function in the C2C12 muscle cell line and in primary muscle cells at different stages of development. Both anti-apoptotic (Bcl-W, Bcl-X(L)) and pro-apoptotic (Bad, Bak, Bax) members of the Bcl-2 family...
