J Biol Chem. 2009 Jan 30;284(5):3058-68. Epub 2008 Dec 2.


The scavengers also restore indomethacin-induced activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 to block mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and gastric mucosal damage.

Importantly, SBHA treatment resulted in an increase in protein levels of p21 (CIP1/WAF1), p27 (KIP1), cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved poly ADP-ribose polymerase and concomitant with a decrease in cyclin D1 and cyclin B1, indicating that the growth inhibition was due to both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

DMSO treatment induced TUNEL-positive staining in many hair cells and activated both initiator caspase-9 and caspase-8 and executioner caspase-3; this suggests that apoptosis is initiated by both intrinsic mitochondrial and extrinsic membrane cell death signaling pathways.
