Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein per lane) from the indicated cell lines were resolved on a 4-12% Bis-Tris gel, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with Purified anti-BBC3/PUMA (clone W22198A) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405) at a 1:3000 dilution. Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-β-actin (Cat. No. 664804) was used as a loading control at a 1:5000 dilution. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Lane M: Molecular weight marker -
HepG2 cells were either untreated (mock) or treated with 500 nM Doxorubicin for 24H (DOX) to induce apoptosis and BBC3 expression. The mock and treated HepG2 cells along with PC-3 cells (negative for BBC3) were fixed with ice-cold methanol and then blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then intracellularly stained with Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control Antibody (Cat. No. 400602) (panels A, D, G) or stained with Purified anti-BBC3/PUMA (clone W22198A) (panels B, E, H). Secondary staining was done by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405418) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801) (blue, merged in panels C, F, I). The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 25 μm

BBC3, also known as p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), is a member of the Bcl-2 family. BBC3 promotes apoptosis and can be transcriptionally regulated by p53. When p53 is activated by survival signals, the increased levels of BBC3 induce apoptosis through mitchondrian dysfunction where BBC3 proteins are localized. BBC3 can also induce apoptosis in a p53-independent manner due to other stimuli such as cell stress. p53-mediated apoptosis and tumor suppression are impaired by targeted disruption of the BBC3 gene. There are four different isoforms of BBC3 (α, β, γ, and δ) but only the α and β forms interact with Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, localize to the mitochondria, and promote apoptosis.
