1 Our results showed that simvastatin significantly enhanced proliferation and increased both mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D2, Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax (Bcl-2/Bax). Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
2 Our results showed that simvastatin significantly enhanced proliferation and increased both mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D2, Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax (Bcl-2/Bax). Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
3 Our results showed that simvastatin significantly enhanced proliferation and increased both mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D2, Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax (Bcl-2/Bax). Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
4 Most importantly, treatment with ATP synthase blocker, oligomycin, significantly decreased both simvastatin-stimulated ATP content and cell proliferation, and completely reversed the simvastatin-induced up-regulation of cyclin D2 and Bcl-2 expression in hOBs. Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
5 Most importantly, treatment with ATP synthase blocker, oligomycin, significantly decreased both simvastatin-stimulated ATP content and cell proliferation, and completely reversed the simvastatin-induced up-regulation of cyclin D2 and Bcl-2 expression in hOBs. Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
6 These results indicate that the up-regulation of cyclin D2 and Bcl-2/Bax by simvastatin depends on the intact function of ATP synthase in the mitochondria of hOBs. Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
7 It suggests that simvastatin may promote hOB proliferation, at least partly, via up-regulating mitochondrial function and subsequently cyclin D2 and Bcl-2/Bax expression. Simvastatin BCL2 apoptosis regulator Homo sapiens
