Article Synopsis
  • Prolonged mitotic arrest can trigger mitotic catastrophe, which is a promising strategy for cancer treatment, highlighting the role of antiapoptotic proteins like BCL-XL in managing cell survival during this phase.
  • Compensatory changes in the expression of related proteins BCL2 and MCL1 complicate research, prompting the use of a specialized system to silence BCL-XL just before mitosis.
  • The study concludes that BCL-XL is crucial in preventing apoptosis during mitotic arrest, even more so than BCL2, and that its loss leads to cell death primarily through a BAX-dependent mechanism, while MCL1 can help buffer this effect.

Objective: To investigate the polymorphism of DXYS267 locus in China Han population and find the application and characters of its Y-specific single nucleotide substitutions.

Methods: The locus was analyzed by PCR and PAGE in silver-staining. The Y-specific STR was amplified with newly designed primers according to the Y-specific single nucleotide substitutions.
