15496407 Ran Q, Liang H, Gu M, Qi W, Walter CA, Roberts LJ 2nd, Herman B, Richardson A, Van Remmen H: Transgenic mice overexpressing glutathione peroxidase 4 are protected against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. J Biol Chem. 2004 Dec 31;279(53):55137-46. Epub 2004 Oct 20.

In addition, diquat-induced apoptosis was decreased in Tg (GPX4) mice, as evidenced by attenuated caspase-3 activation and reduced cytochrome c release from mitochondria.

On the other hand, if animals were treated with galactosamine/endotoxin as positive control for apoptosis, caspase-3 activities were increased by 259%, the number of TUNEL-positive cells with apoptotic morphology was increased 103-fold, and DNA fragmentation was enhanced 6-fold.
To verify these findings in vivo, male Fisher rats were treated with diquat and menadione.

These two groups of cells shared similar cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, and p21 (WAF1/CIP1) cleavage.
