Ultrastructural localization of bcl-2 protein

P Monaghan, D Robertson, TA Amos, MJ Dyer, DY Mason and MF Greaves

Department of Cell Biology and Experimental Pathology, Institute of Cancer Research, Sutton, Surrey, UK.

Previous cell subfractionation studies have indicated that bcl-2 is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein. We have sought to determine the ultrastructural localization of bcl-2 protein in lymphoma and breast carcinoma cell lines and biopsy material known to overexpress bcl-2 using immunoelectron microscopy. To avoid the possibility of processing artifacts, samples were prepared by three different methods: progressive lowering of temperature, cryosectioning, and freeze- substitution. In all instances the labeling of bcl-2 protein was relatively weak but the distribution the same. In both lymphoma and breast carcinoma tissues, bcl-2 protein was detected on the periphery of mitochondria: little labeling of either the mitochondrial matrix or cristae could be detected. Labeling was also detected on the perinuclear membrane and throughout the cytoplasm, as also indicated by confocal microscopy. These data therefore indicate that bcl-2 protein can be detected at several intracellular sites and that at the likely functional destination, the mitochondria, there appears to be, contrary to expectations, a preferential association with the outer membrane.
