OP compounds induced significant time-dependent increases in caspase-3 activation following paraoxon (1 mM), parathion (100 microM, 1 mM), PSP (10 microM, 100 microM, 1 mM), TOTP (100 microM, 1 mM), and TPPi (1 mM) exposure (p < 0.05).

Recently, we have shown that, at noncholinergic doses (1 to 10 nM), POX (the bioactive metabolite of parathion) causes apoptotic cell death in murine EL4 T-lymphocytic leukemia cell line through activation of caspase-3.

We examined cellular responses, including induction of apoptosis, involvement of a caspase cascade, the activity of effector caspase (caspase-3) and the biochemical and morphological changes that are the hallmarks of classical apoptosis.

Paraoxon, the active metabolite of parathion, is an acetylcholinesterases (AChE) inhibitor that kills cultured cerebellar granule cell neurons via an apoptotic mechanism.
We also show that the pretreatment of Ro-31-8220 blocks paraoxon-induced caspase-3 activity completely.
