1 Caspase-2 acts upstream of mitochondria to promote cytochrome c release during etoposide-induced apoptosis. Etoposide caspase 2 Homo sapiens
2 We demonstrate here a role for caspase-2 in etoposide-induced cytochrome c release. Etoposide caspase 2 Homo sapiens
3 Experiments performed using a reconstituted cell-free system indicate that etoposide-induced cytochrome c release by way of caspase-2 occurs independently of cytosolic factors, suggesting that the nuclear pool of pro-caspase-2 is critical to this process. Etoposide caspase 2 Homo sapiens
4 Experiments performed using a reconstituted cell-free system indicate that etoposide-induced cytochrome c release by way of caspase-2 occurs independently of cytosolic factors, suggesting that the nuclear pool of pro-caspase-2 is critical to this process. Etoposide caspase 2 Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, our data indicate that caspase-2 provides an important link between etoposide-induced DNA damage and the engagement of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Etoposide caspase 2 Homo sapiens
