1 Pretreatment with a general caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK), a caspase-8 inhibitor (Z-IETD-FMK), and a caspase-9 inhibitor (Z-LEHD-FMK) reversed MMC-induced cellular damage. Mitomycin caspase 9 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that mitomycin-induced cellular apoptosis in corneal endothelial cells may be mediated through caspase-8, caspase-9, and the mitochondrial regulated pathways as well as through upregulation of p53-dependent and p21-dependent signal transduction pathways. Mitomycin caspase 9 Homo sapiens
