1 Activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in UV-irradiated A375-S2 cells were effectively reduced by silymarin in a dose-dependent manner, while the expression of the inhibitor of caspase-activated DNase (ICAD), protein expression of Bcl-x(L) (Bcl-2 family member), and the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) were increased simultaneously. Silymarin BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
2 It is suggested that the inhibitory effect of silymarin is exerted by blockage of the caspase/ICAD pathway after increased expression of Bcl-x(L) protein and activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway. Silymarin BCL2 like 1 Homo sapiens
