The genome of R. typhi contains four potentially membranolytic genes (tlyA, tlyC, pldA, and pat-1) and five autotransporter genes, sca 1, sca 2, sca 3, ompA, and ompB.

During induction, cytochrome c expression via the p53 pathway increased, however apoptotic executors, such as caspase-3, decreased significantly.

In Tca-8113 cells, the CYP2J2 inhibitors decreased EET production by approximately 60%, whereas they had no effect on CYP2J2 mRNA or protein expression.
Inhibition of CYP2J2 also significantly potentiated human tumor cell apoptosis and caused a corresponding increase in caspase-3 activity and change in expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2.

METHODS: Expression of IkappaBa, phosphatase-IkappaBa, bcl-2 and Bax proteins were detected by Western blot, NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift analysis (EMSA), and activities of caspase 3, caspase 8 and caspase 9 were analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
