1 Induction of apoptosis in human leukemia cells by 3-deazaadenosine is mediated by caspase-3-like activity. 3-deazaadenosine caspase 3 Homo sapiens
2 DZA induced a specific cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and an activation of the cysteine protease caspase-3/CPP32 which is known to cleave PARP. 3-deazaadenosine caspase 3 Homo sapiens
3 DZA induced a specific cleavage of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) and an activation of the cysteine protease caspase-3/CPP32 which is known to cleave PARP. 3-deazaadenosine caspase 3 Homo sapiens
4 DZA-mediated nuclear DNA-fragmentation was completely blocked in the presence of a universal inhibitor of caspases (z-VAD-fmk) or the specific inhibitor of caspase-3 (z-DEVD-fmk) unlike of cycloheximide (CHX). 3-deazaadenosine caspase 3 Homo sapiens
5 Taken together, these results demonstrate that DZA-induced apoptosis initiated through an active transport of DZA into human leukemia cells, is dependent on the caspase-3-like activity without de novo synthesis of proteins and possibly involves c-myc down-regulation. 3-deazaadenosine caspase 3 Homo sapiens
