Summary
This gene encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells such as lymphocytes. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma. Two transcript variants, produced by alternate splicing, differ in their C-terminal ends. [provided by RefSeq].

- microsatellite instability Colorectal cancer patients with low Bcl-2 and hMLH1 and hMSH2 demonstrate a significantly shorter disease-free survival.
- PKR regulates B56(alpha)-mediated BCL2 phosphatase activity in acute lymphoblastic leukemia-derived REH cells.
- The resistance of E-cadherin over-expressing cells to staurosporine may due to the up-regulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratio. When E-cadherin interference plasmids were transfected into MCF-7 cells, Bcl-2 expression was down-regulated.
- No significant association of bcl-2 expression with either overall survival or disease free survival was found in women with breast cancer.
- Bcl-2 and bcl-xL have roles in cell death rates in transitional cell carcinoma cell lines
- Serum bcl-2 was significantly higher in patients with ovarian cancer.
- Bcl-2 can regulate tumoral angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in human prostate cancer cells.
- Trends suggested down-modulation of cyclooxygenase-2 and Ki-67 in some tissues, increased pAKT-Ser473 expression, and an inverse relationship between PGE(2) and BCL2 expression.
- Bcl-2 negative germinal centre patients had the most favourable prognosis among patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma that received R-CHOP
