  • Descrição: Bcl-2 nineteen-kilodalton interacting protein (BNIP3) is a BH-3-only Bcl-2 family member whose expression levels increase during stress such as hypoxia through hypoxia-inducing factor-1-dependent or -independent mechanisms. When BNIP3 expression is induced, it localizes to the mitochondria and triggers a loss of membrane potential, and an increase in the reactive oxygen species production, which often leads to cell death. Cells under normal growth conditions suppress BNIP3 expression through transcriptional repression. There is considerable debate in the literature regarding what type of cell death is induced by BNIP3. It has been observed that BNIP3 could induce necrosis, autophagy and/or apoptosis. In contrast, other studies indicate that BNIP3 could promote cell survival. Besides its cell death regulation, BNIP3 plays a key role in the pathogenicity of many diseases. In cardiac infarction, loss of BNIP3 expression has been shown to reduce the number of damaged cardiomyocytes after ischemia and reperfusion. BNIP3 expression also plays an important role in the deregulation of cell death in many cancers. In this review, we will discuss the different and often contradictory mechanisms of BNIP3 regulation of cell death and the role that BNIP3 may play in diseases.
