Figure 3. Hyperthermia modulates Bax association with Ku70 and Bcl-2.

Figure 3

A. PC-10 cells were incubated at 42.5°C for 0, 1, 3 and 6 h. Bax was co-immunoprecipitated from 2 mg total protein and Bcl-xL, Bcl-2 and Ku70 were detected in the immunoprecipitant by western analysis. Hyperthermia induces Bax up-regulation and Bax dissociation from Bcl2 and enhances association between Bax and Ku70, while no effect on the Bax/Bcl-xL association. In contrast, Ku70 was co-immunoprecipitated from similar cell lysates. Bax and Ku80 are shown in the immunoprecipitant. B. After hyperthermia, total Ku70 levels showed no changes, but association between Ku70 and Bax was enhanced.
