20036686 Sharma H, Zhang P, Barber DS, Liu B: Organochlorine pesticides dieldrin and lindane induce cooperative toxicity in dopaminergic neurons: role of oxidative stress. Neurotoxicology. 2010 Mar;31(2):215-22. Epub 2009 Dec 29.

Mechanistically, dieldrin and lindane combination induced a rapid increase in the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species, a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and activation of caspase 3/7.

To elucidate the mechanism (s) underpinning the gonadal effects of lindane, we sought to investigate the levels of apoptosis-related proteins, namely cytochrome c, caspase-3 and-9, Fas and FasL in the testis of adult rats.

Further experiments showed that in such model, lindane induced features of apoptotic cell death in PGCs such as increase in caspase-3 activity, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase cleavage, and terminal dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) positivity.

The inhibitory group was first treated with 100 micromol/L Caspase-3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO treating for 2 hours before 50 micromol/L p, p'-DDE + 50 micromol/L beta-BHC 24 hours-treatment.

HCH lead to apoptotic as well as necrotic cell death as it was marked by increased caspase-3 activity and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, respectively.
