Methylnitrosourea 38-41 caspase 3 Mus musculus 56-65 22645991-11 2012 A single systemic administration of MNU (70 mg/kg) increased intracellular levels of p53, PARP, FasR, caspase 3 active, which was followed by destructive changes in retina with sings of apoptosis of photoreceptors. Methylnitrosourea 36-39 caspase 3 Mus musculus 102-111 21240523-0 2011 Caspase-3-independent photoreceptor degeneration by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) induces morphological and functional changes in the mouse retina. Methylnitrosourea 52-74 caspase 3 Mus musculus 0-9 21240523-13 2011 CONCLUSION: MNU leads to the dose-dependent degeneration of photoreceptor cells in mice by caspase-3-independent pathways and is, therefore, a suitable model to study retinal degeneration in an animal model.

Methylnitrosourea 76-79 caspase 3 Mus musculus 0-9 13679151-8 2003 While caspase-3 was induced in Mgmt(-/-)Mlh1(+/+) cells after treatment with MNU, no induction occurred in Mgmt(-/-)Mlh1(+/-) cells or in Mgmt(-/-)Mlh1(-/-) cells.
