18386902 Chen WJ, Huang YT, Wu ML, Huang TC, Ho CT, Pan MH: Induction of apoptosis by vitamin D2, ergocalciferol, via reactive oxygen species generation, glutathione depletion, and caspase activation in human leukemia Cells. J Agric Food Chem. 2008 May 14;56(9):2996-3005. Epub 2008 Apr 3.

Further results show that caspases-2, -3, -6, and -9 were all activated by ergocalciferol, together with cleavage of the downstream caspase-3 targets, DNA fragmentation factor (DFF-45), and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase.
