The recent demonstration of the anti-oxidant properties of the Bcl-2 gene product suggested that expression of Bcl-2 may interfere with the nuclear migration of the NF-kappa B transcription factor, which is thought to depend on the presence of reactive oxygen intermediates. In mouse L cells, overexpression of Bcl-2 interfered with the activation of NF-kappa B by H2O2. However, Bcl-2 had no effect on the activation of NF-kappa B by TNF, even though it protected cells from TNF-induced apoptosis. The effects of exogenous pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate were very similar to those of Bcl-2 overexpression. We conclude that the protective effects of anti-oxidants against induced apoptotic cell death are unrelated to their ability to interfere with NF-kappa B activation.
