1 | Previously, we found that, in response to steroid treatment, WEHI7.2 mouse thymic lymphoma cells overexpressing catalase (CAT38) show delayed apoptosis (delayed cytochrome c release) compared to the parental cells, while Bcl-2 overexpressing cells (Hb12) are protected from steroid-induced apoptosis. | Steroids | catalase | Mus musculus |

3 | These data suggest that: (1) glucocorticoid effects on glucose metabolism may contribute to the mechanism of steroid-induced lymphocyte apoptosis; and (2) the altered metabolism seen in catalase and Bcl-2 overexpressing cells may contribute to both the steroid resistance and increased tumorigenicity of these variants. | Steroids | catalase | Mus musculus |
