Silymarin 4-13 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 140-146 15713892-7 2005 The constitutive expression of antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl were decreased after silymarin treatment, whereas the expression of the proapoptotic protein Bax was increased. Silymarin 92-101 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 64-70 16399623-5 2006 Silymarin pre-treatment reversed the effect of UV irradiation on the expression of phosphorylated Akt and phosphorylated p53 (regulated by Akt activation), followed by down-regulation of Bax and up-regulated expressions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins in UV-irradiated A375-S2 cells. Silymarin 0-9 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 233-239 15256735-3 2004 Activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in UV-irradiated A375-S2 cells were effectively reduced by silymarin in a dose-dependent manner, while the expression of the inhibitor of caspase-activated DNase (ICAD), protein expression of Bcl-x(L) (Bcl-2 family member), and the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) were increased simultaneously. Silymarin 97-106 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 230-238 15256735-4 2004 It is suggested that the inhibitory effect of silymarin is exerted by blockage of the caspase/ICAD pathway after increased expression of Bcl-x(L) protein and activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway. Silymarin 46-55 BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens 137-145
