12654481 Cheng WH, Quimby FW, Lei XG: Impacts of glutathione peroxidase-1 knockout on the protection by injected selenium against the pro-oxidant-induced liver aponecrosis and signaling in selenium-deficient mice. Free Radic Biol Med. 2003 Apr 1;34(7):918-27.

The paraquat-mediated gene or protein expression of proapoptotic Bax, Bcl-w, and Bcl-X (S), cell survival/death factors GADD45, MDM2, c-Myc, and caspase-3 was upregulated, but that of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 was downregulated in the GPX1-/- mice vs. the WT mice.

Even a single injection of paraquat + maneb in the non-transgenic treated group modulated several key pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins, including Bax, Bad, Bcl-xL, and upstream stress-induced cascade.

When overexpressed in Jurkat cells, Bcl-xFNK was markedly more potent in prolonging survival following apoptosis-inducing treatment with a kind of cell death cytokines (anti-Fas), a protein kinase inhibitor (staurosporine), cell cycle inhibitors (TN-16, camptothecin, hydroxyurea, and trichostatin A), or oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide and paraquat) than wild-type Bcl-x (L).

In plants expressing Bcl-x (L), cell death induced by UV-B irradiation, paraquat treatment or the hypersensitive reaction (HR) to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection was suppressed.

Plant Cell Physiol. 2002 Sep;43(9):992-1005.

Overproduction of animal cell death suppressors Bcl-xL and Ced-9 conferred enhanced resistance to UV-B and paraquat treatment in tobacco plants [Mitsuhara et al. (1999) CURR: Biol. 9: 775].

Focusing on mechanisms responsible for this synergy, we found that maneb+PQ increased the expression of three strong Bak inhibitors, Bfl-1, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, and also induced Bax activators that included Bik and Bim.

To investigate the molecular events linked to acute oxidative stress in mouse liver, we injected a toxic dose of paraquat.
Concomitantly, activation of the MAP kinase pathway and increased levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-XL were observed.
