Lovastatin 0-10 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 199-208 17497701-6 2008 We demonstrated that lovastatin (0.01-1 microM) remarkably prevented MSCs from Hypoxia/SD-induced apoptosis through inhibition of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, leading to attenuation of caspase-3 activation. Lovastatin 21-31 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 193-202 18466319-7 2008 Concomitantly, lovastatin causes a decrease in eIF4G cellular amount, which is partially mediated by caspase(s) activity excluding caspase 3. Lovastatin 15-25 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 131-140 19100107-5 2008 RESULTS: Lovastatin (0.01 - 1 micromol/L) significantly reduced Hypoxia/SD-induced MSCs apoptosis and increased Akt phosphorylation, reduced caspase-3 activation and cytochrome c release from mitochondria to cytosol in a time dependent manner. Lovastatin 9-19 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 141-150 16427097-8 2006 Specifically, we demonstrate that 3 statins, simvastatin, lovastatin, and mevastatin induce dose-dependent apoptosis in the TR-PCT1 pericyte cell line, that simvastatin (empirically shown to be the most potent of the 3 statins) induces similar levels of apoptosis in freshly isolated pericytes, and that simvastatin-induced apoptosis in pericytes is cholesterol, caspase-3, and caspase-7 mediated. Lovastatin 58-68 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 363-372 17251057-8 2007 Furthermore, we found that the activation of the JNK signalling pathway triggered by lovastatin is accompanied by caspase-3 activation which is also inhibited by iJNK-I pre-treatment. Lovastatin 85-95 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 114-123 16367743-3 2006 We found that lovastatin exposure induced focal adhesion kinase, Crk-associated substrate (p130(Cas)), PKCdelta cleavage and caspase-3 activation in a concentration-dependent manner. Lovastatin 14-24 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 125-134 16367743-6 2006 In contrast, the lovastatin-induced cleavage of PKCdelta was only blocked by z-VAD-fmk suggesting that PKCdelta cleavage is caspase-dependent but caspase-3-independent. Lovastatin 17-27 caspase 3 Rattus norvegicus 146-155
