描述：

来自Cell Signaling Technology (CST)的SignalSilence® Bim siRNA II 可以帮助研究者通过RNA干扰特异性地抑制 Bim 的表达，这种方法可以通过将双链RNA分子传递到细胞内从而使基因表达有选择的沉默。来自CST的所有的SignalSilence® siRNA产品都是经过内部严格检测的，并且通过Western blot 分析证明确实能够减少目的蛋白的表达。CST推荐使用100 nM SignalSilence^® Bim siRNA II 进行转染，48到72小时后对细胞进行裂解。转染步骤按照转染试剂说明书提供的步骤进行。遇到任何使用方面的问题，请随时联系CST。Bim/Bod是促凋亡蛋白，属于Bcl-2家族只含有BH3域的成员，此家族还包括Bad、Bid、Bik、Hrk和 Noxa，它们都只包含BH3域，但缺少其它保守的BH1或BH2(1,2)。Bim通过结合并拮抗 Bcl-2家族抗凋亡因子而诱导凋亡。研究发现，其与Bcl-2、Bcl-xL、Mcl-1、Bcl-w、Bfl-1和 BHRF-1存在相互作用 (1,2)。Bim调控凋亡的功能是与胸腺细胞负向选择性有关，并伴随生长因子的撤回，在这期间Bim的表达是上调的(3-6)。Bim通过可变剪切，主要形成三种不同的形式：BimEL、BimL和BimS (1)。BimS是最短的形式，也是毒性最强的，它只在凋亡的瞬间表达。在凋亡过程中，BimEL 和 BimL 形式可能通过与动力蛋白的轻链互作，进而与动力蛋白复合体隔离并从这个复合体上得到释放(7)。这些长剪切形式的凋亡活性是通过磷酸化调控(8,9)。环境的胁迫引起JNK对Bim的磷酸化，并导致其与动力蛋白复合体的解离，从而增加凋亡活性。

Description

SignalSilence® Bim siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit Bim expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce protein expression by western analysis.

Directions for Use

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM Bim siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.

Background

Bim/Bod is a pro-apoptotic protein belonging to the BH3-only group of Bcl-2 family members including Bad, Bid, Bik, Hrk and Noxa that contain a BH3 domain but lack other conserved BH1 or BH2 domains (1,2). Bim induces apoptosis by binding to and antagonizing anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. Interactions have been observed with Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, Bcl-w, Bfl-1 and BHRF-1 (1,2). Bim functions in regulating apoptosis associated with thymocyte negative selection and following growth factor withdrawal, during which Bim expression is elevated (3-6). Three major isoforms of Bim are generated by alternative splicing: BimEL, BimL and BimS (1). The shortest form, BimS, is the most cytotoxic and is generally only transiently expressed during apoptosis. The BimEL and BimL isoforms may be sequestered to the dynein motor complex through an interaction with the dynein light chain and released from this complex during apoptosis (7). Apoptotic activity of these longer isoforms may be regulated by phosphorylation (8,9). Environmental stress triggers Bim phosphorylation by JNK and results in its dissociation from the dynein complex and increased apoptotic activity.
