In control SH-SY5Y cells, tunicamycin treatment induced endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis; however, after Bax inhibitor-1 gene knockdown, cell survival rates were significantly decreased and the degree of apoptosis was significantly increased following tunicamycin treatment In addition, chromatin condensation and apparent apoptotic phenomena, such as marginalization and cytoplasmic vesicles, were observed. Our findings indicate that Bax inhibitor-1 can delay apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress.展开更多

Using PCR-based amplification, two different restriction sites at both ends of tobacco Bax inhibitor-1 (NtBI-I) gene were created, respectively, which made the construction of ihpRNA gene silencing vector more efficiently. Then, NtBI-1 genes were inserted into Multiple Cloning Site (MCS) of pGSA2285 respectively to form Bax inhibitor-1 ihpRNA gene silencing vector, named as pGSA4285, containing sense and anti-sense BI-1 sequence which was spliced by chalcone synthase intron. Combined PCR identification and enzyme restriction analyses, the results showed that Bax inhibitor-1 ihpRNA gene silencing vector had been constructed and transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105 successfully, which laid a foundation for the further study on the function of BI-1 in plant PCD regulation.展开更多
