Protectors or Traitors: The Roles of PON2 and PON3 in Atherosclerosis and Cancer

Figure 3

Schematic presentation of the suggested antiapoptotic mechanism of PON2 and PON3. Its ability to prevent mitochondrial O 2 āˆ’ formation impacts on both ER stress-induced pathways (via acting on JNK and CHOP) as well as mitochondrial proapoptotic signaling such as cardiolipin peroxidation and cytochrome C release. See text for details. From our current understanding, PON2 is functionally interchangeable with PON3.
