1 | The role of endogenous reactive oxygen species in oxymatrine-induced caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in human melanoma A375 cells. | oxymatrine | caspase 3 | Homo sapiens |
2 | Furthermore, this small compound resulted in a marked activation of capase-3, caspase-9, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, while caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK significantly reversed the proapoptotic effect of oxymatrine in A375 cells. | oxymatrine | caspase 3 | Homo sapiens |
3 | In conclusion, our findings suggest that oxymatrine triggers oxidative stress, resulting in the collapse of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, which in turn leads to cytochrome c release and apoptosis through the intrinsic caspase-9/caspase-3 pathway in human melanoma A375 cells. | oxymatrine | caspase 3 | Homo sapiens |
