Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that the putative cytoprotective protease inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2), is specifically cleaved during okadaic acid-induced apoptosis in a myeloid leukaemic cell line (Br J Cancer (1994) 70: 834-840). HL-60 cells exposed to okadaic acid and camptothecin underwent morphological and biochemical changes typical of apoptosis, including internucleosomal DNA...
