15051486 Ribas J, Boix J: Cell differentiation, caspase inhibition, and macromolecular synthesis blockage, but not BCL-2 or BCL-XL proteins, protect SH-SY5Y cells from apoptosis triggered by two CDK inhibitory drugs. Exp Cell Res. 2004 Apr 15;295(1):9-24.


However, a partial protective effect was detected when cells were treated with a general inhibitor of caspases (zVADfmk), cycloheximide (CHX), or actinomycin D (DAct).

Moreover, ROSC induces in human MCF-7 cells phosphorylation of p53 protein at Ser-46 which in turn initiates caspase-independent apoptosis.

RESULTS: The following are the results of this work: (1) olomoucine reduced HSV-1-induced proliferation associated cyclin D1 expression; (2) olomoucine also induced microglial cells apoptosis early at 24 hours post-infection and inhibited the release of proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine, including tumor necrosis factor alpha and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; and (3) olomoucine-induced apoptosis was caspase-dependent, and it also reduced the antiapoptotic protein Mcl-1.

Similarly, release of apoptotic microparticles and activation of caspases-3 and -9 were observed within the first hours following neurotrophic factor withdrawal.

Spontaneous racemization and isomerization of aspartic acid and deamidation of asparagine to four possible forms of aspartic acid in caspases and their substrates could profoundly alter apoptotic activity.
Finally, it is pointed out that three recently described agents that delay senescence in cultured cells (aminoguanidine, N-t-butylhydroxylamine and kinetin) resemble carnosine in that they are also likely to react with glycoxidised proteins, as well as possess anti-oxidant activity.

12685824 Honma Y, Ishii Y: Differentiation of human myeloid leukemia cells by plant redifferentiation-inducing hormones. Leuk Lymphoma. 2002 Sep;43(9):1729-35.

Cytokinins such as kinetin, isopentenyladenine (IPA) and benzyladenine were very effective at inducing nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction and morphological changes in human myeloid leukemia cells into mature granulocytes.
When the cells were incubated with cytokinin ribosides in the presence of an O2- scavenger, antioxidant or caspase inhibitor, apoptosis was significantly reduced and differentiation was greatly enhanced.

We showed that the overexpression of FKBP38 attenuates reduction rate of Bcl-2, thus resulting in an increment of the intracellular Bcl-2 level, contributing to the resistance of apoptotic cell death induced by the treatment of kinetin riboside, an anticancer drug.

Increases of caspase activity induced by actinomycin D, cycloheximide, H-7 or A23187 in a Drosophila neuronal cell line, ML-DmBG2-c2, and induced by excessive expression of a Drosophila cell death gene, reaper, in Drosophila S2 cells were suppressed by 24-h pretreatment of each CDK inhibitor.

Resveratrol induces activation of caspase-3 and increases the cleavage of the downstream caspase substrate, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase.

In mitotic cells, such as astroglia and microglia, they induce proliferation, whereas in post-mitotic cells such as neurons they initiate caspase-related apoptosis.

Cytokinins such as kinetin, isopentenyladenine, and benzyladenine were very effective in inducing nitroblue tetrazolium reduction and morphological changes in the cells into mature granulocytes.
When the cells were incubated with cytokinin ribosides in the presence of O (2)(-) scavenger, antioxidant or caspase inhibitor, apoptosis was significantly reduced and differentiation was greatly enhanced.
