Thus, chronic organophosphate exposure has the potential to disrupt cellular antioxidant defense system which in turn triggers the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol as well as caspase-3 activation in dichlorvos treated rat brain as revealed by immunoblotting experiments.

The present work studied the effects of the antioxidant and glutathione pro-drug N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) on the survival of a natural population of A. anguilla exposed to a lethal concentration of dichlorvos, focusing on the glutathione metabolism and the enzyme activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and caspase-3 as biomarkers of neurotoxicity and induction of apoptosis, respectively.

After birth, 5 male neonates were randomly selected from each of the control and dichlorvos groups, and their testes were harvested to be analyzed by HE staining, immunohistochemistry with anti-caspase-3 antibodies and DAPI fluorescent staining.

NK-92CI and/or NK-92MI were treated with dichlorvos (DDVP) or chlorpyrifos (CP) at 0-100 ppm for 1-72 h at 37 degrees C in vitro.
Apoptosis induced by DDVP and CP was determined by FITC-Annexin V staining and the intracellular level of active caspase-3 was analysed by flow cytometry.

Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations for caspase-3 and caspase-9 were accomplished in the endometrium.

Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that trichlorfon and its degradation product dichlorvos-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner and Hoechst 33342 staining experiments revealed trichlorfon/dichlorvos-induced nucleus condensation.
Percent apoptosis and activated caspase-3 and caspase-12 decreased in pre-treated cells compared to those treated with trichlorfon alone.
