When these molecular factors are taken into account, pathogenesis of CP-induced bladder toxicity can be summarized in three steps: (1) acrolein rapidly enters into the uroepithelial cells; (2) it then activates intracellular reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide production (directly or through NF-kappaB and AP-1) leading to peroxynitrite production; (3) finally, the increased peroxynitrite level damages lipids (lipid peroxidation), proteins (protein oxidation) and DNA (strand breaks) leading to activation of PARP, a DNA repair enzyme.

Cyclophosphamide (CPA), a widely used oxazaphosphorine anti-cancer prodrug, is inactive until it is metabolized by cytochrome P450 to yield phosphoramide mustard and acrolein, which alkylate DNA and proteins, respectively.
CPA and MFA were both shown to effect tumor cell death by stimulating apoptosis, as evidenced by the induction of plasma membrane blebbing, DNA fragmentation, and cleavage of the caspase 3 and caspase 7 substrate poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in drug-treated cells.

It was confirmed by detection of apoptosis markers such as activated caspase-3 and cleaved PARP, and cell cycle analysis.

DHA induced apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner with a concentration range from 0 to 300 microM as indicated by increased caspase-3 activity and PARP cleavage.
