Abstract excerpt
Hsp70 overexpression can protect cells from stress-induced apoptosis. Our previous observation that Hsp70 inhibits cytochrome c release in heat-stressed cells led us to examine events occurring upstream of mitochondrial disruption. In this study we examined the effects of heat shock on the proapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bax because of its central role in regulating cytochrome c release in stressed cells. We...
