Abstract Background Programmed cell death PCD is essential for development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms and can occur by caspase-dependent apoptosis or alternatively by caspaseindependent PCD ciPCD . Bcl-2 a central regulator of apoptosis localizes to both mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum ER . Whereas a function of mitochondrial and ER-specific Bcl-2 in apoptosis has been established in multiple studies corresponding data for ciPCD do not exist. Methods We utilized Bcl-2 constructs specifically localizing to mitochondria Bcl-2 ActA the ER Bcl-2 cb5 both Bcl-2 WT or the cytosol nucleus Bcl-2 ATM and determined their protective effect on ceramide-mediated ciPCD in transiently and stably transfected .
