Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the involvement of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase-1 (JNK1) and possibly of HSP27 in heat-induced apoptosis of human monoblastic leukaemia U937 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dominant negative JNK1 (APF), in which the phosphorylation sites Thr-Pro-Tyr were changed to Ala-Pro-Phe, was overexpressed in U937 cells. Cell viability and DNA fragmentation were analysed by the erythrosin-B dye exclusion...
