Chloroquine-Induced Neuronal Cell Death Is p53 and Bcl-2 Family-Dependent But Caspase-Independent
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Chloroquine is a lysosomotropic agent that causes marked changes in intracellular protein processing and trafficking and extensive autophagic vacuole formation. Chloroquine may be cytotoxic and has been used as a model of lysosomal-dependent cell death. Recent studies indicate that autophagic cell death may involve Bcl-2 family members and share some features with caspase-dependent apoptotic death. To determine...
