Abstract excerpt
Ceramide induces apoptosis through caspase activation, cytochrome c release, and Bax translocation in HL-60 cells. However, the upstream signal transduction pathways that induce Bax translocation during ceramide-mediated apoptosis have not been well defined yet. In this study, the activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was found to be critical for the induction of apoptosis and subcellular...
