Cladribine induces apoptosis in human leukaemia cells by caspase-dependent and -independent pathways acting on mitochondria
2001-10-25
Abstract excerpt
We have studied the role of caspases and mitochondria in apoptosis induced by 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (cladribine) in several human leukaemic cell lines. Cladribine treatment induced mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) loss, phosphatidylserine exposure, caspase activation and development of typical apoptotic morphology in JM1 (pre-B), Jurkat (T) and U937 (promonocytic) cells. Western-blot analysis of ce...
