1 In this study, we found that sanguinarine and chelerythrine induce apoptosis in human CEM T-leukemia cells, and that is accompanied by an early increase in cytosolic cytochrome c that precedes caspases-8, -9 and -3 processing. sanguinarine cytochrome c, somatic Homo sapiens
2 Thus, our results demonstrated that rapid cytochrome c release in CEM T-leukemia cells exposed to sanguinarine or chelerythrine was not accompanied by changes in Bax, Bcl-2 and Bcl-X((L/S)) proteins in the mitochondrial fraction, and preceded activation of the initiator caspase-8. sanguinarine cytochrome c, somatic Homo sapiens
