Evidences complex(GO:"NF-kappaB complex") to p(HGNC:BCL2L1)

Recent evidence has cogently shown that Amyloid-β induces apoptosis in rat primary neurons and human post-mitotic neuronal cells by reducing Bcl-XL expression level and evoking the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria in a NF-κB – dependent manner

This is counter-intuitive as it is established that NF-κB positively regulates the expression of Bcl-XL and other members of the Bcl2 family

The anti-apoptotic effects of NF-κB have been ascribed to its ability to trans-activate the expression of a multitude of anti-apoptotic genes such as Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bfl-1/A1 in the neurons of the amygdala, olfactory bulb, and the CA1/CA3 region of the hippocampus
