Pro-apoptotic Bim induction in response to nerve growth factor deprivation requires simultaneous activation of three different death signaling pathways.

Abstract excerpt

Bim is a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family that is induced and contributes to neuron death in response to nerve growth factor (NGF) deprivation. Past work has revealed that Bim is downstream of multiple independent transcriptional pathways in neurons, including those culminating in activation of the c-Jun, FoxO, and Myb transcription factors. This study addresses the issue of whether the three signaling...
