To investigate apoptosis, caspase-3 activity, and mRNA expression of Fas, Fas-L, and caspases (-3 and -8) induced by fluoride, human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells were incubated with 0, 20, 40, and 80 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) for 24 h in vitro.

The obvious DNA ladder and the significantly increased both hepatic caspase-9 and caspase-3 activity indicated that fluoride induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in vivo.

MDPC-23 cells incubated with 5 mM NaF for 24 hrs exhibited caspase-3 activation, cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, DNA fragmentation, and an increase in cytoplasmic nucleosomes.

Codeinone dose-dependently activated caspase-3 in both of these cells, but to a much lesser extent than that attained by actinomycin D.
The cytotoxic activity of codeinone against HSC-2 cells was inhibited by N-acetyl-L-cysteine, but somewhat additively stimulated by sodium ascorbate, epigallocatechin gallate, hydrogen peroxide, sodium fluoride, 5-fluorouridine, cisplatin, doxorubicin and methotrexate.

Most Group I compounds except doxorubicin (which induced DNA fragmentation less effectively than others) activated caspase 3 more efficiently than Group II compounds.

Non-cytotoxic concentration of gefitinib effectively enhanced the cytotoxicity of docetaxel against HSC-2 and T98G cell, but failed to enhance the cytotoxicity of other antitumor agents (mitoxantrone, doxorubicin, methotrexate, cisplatin, sodium ascorbate, sodium fluoride) or herbal extracts (Drynaria baronii, Angelica sinensis and Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc).

The effects of simulated orthodontic forces such as centrifugal force or water pressure on sodium fluoride (NaF)-induced cytotoxicity against mouse osteoblast-like cells MC3T3-E1 were investigated.
