Description: Regulated inhibition of programmed cell death (apoptosis) preserves normalhomeostasis and tissue and organ morphogenesis. Aberrations in this processcontribute to human diseases and cancer by abnormally prolonging cell viability. Recently, several apoptosis inhibitors related to the baculovirus iap gene have beenfound in various species, including human. IAP proteins contain one/three Cys/Hisbaculovirus IAP repeats plus a c-terminus RING finger and are thought to block anevolutionary conserved step in apoptosis.Survivin encodes a structurally unique inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP). Survivin expressionis turned off during fetal development and is not found in non-neoplastic adult humantissues. Survivin becomes abundantly re-expressed in transformed cells and in all ofthe most common cancers of lung, colon, pancreas, breast and prostate in vivo. Survivin appears to be situated at the crossroads of cell death and cell division,governing a checkpoint involved in cytokinesis while also suppressing apoptosis.Survivin is also abundantly expressed in brain tissues (astrocytes and some neurons) ofadult rats following traumatic brain injury. Survivin has been found co-expressed withNeuN (mature neuronal marker) and PCNA (a cell cycle protein). Survivin might affectregulation of neural cell proliferative responses after brain injury.
