17196791 Tanel A, Averill-Bates DA: P38 and ERK mitogen-activated protein kinases mediate acrolein-induced apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Cell Signal. 2007 May;19(5):968-77. Epub 2006 Nov 25.

Thus, blockade of ERK and p38 inhibited chromatin condensation, caspase-7 and -9 activation as well as ICAD cleavage induced by acrolein.

The induction of apoptosis by acrolein was confirmed morphologically by the condensation of nuclear chromatin and by the cleavage of the inhibitor of caspase activated DNase (ICAD), which leads to the liberation of CAD that causes DNA fragmentation.
