Abstract;Anti-apoptotic action of Bag-1 in endothelial cells was examined. The endogenous expression of Bag-1 in human and cattle aorta endothelial cells was mainly recognized in the cytosol. The human HGF rose the avidity of Bag-1 and c-met. The human HGF stimulated tyrosine kinase phosphorylation, ERK phosphorylation, DNA synthesis, which was not subject to the over-expression of Bag-1 or C-terminal region deletion mutant. The apoptosis induced in TNF-alpha processing or under the non-blood serum condition lowered by the over-expression of Bag-1 or C-terminal region deletion mutant. The anti-apoptosis action of HGF was not risen by the Bag-1 over-expression. The Bag-1 under-expression in the endothelial cell showed the anti-apoptosis action, which indicated that this was not related to the HGF signal transmission.
