18534571 Mikami M, Goubaeva F, Song JH, Lee HT, Yang J: beta-Adrenoceptor blockers protect against staurosporine-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Eur J Pharmacol. 2008 Jul 28;589(1-3):14-21. Epub 2008 Apr 25.

We studied the effects of three beta-adrenoceptor blockers propranolol (1-(isoproplyamino)-3-(naphthalene-1-yloxy) propan-2-ol), atenolol (2-[4-[2-hydroxy-3-(1-methylethylamino) propoxyl] phenyl] ehanamide), and ICI 118551 (1-[2,3-(dihydro-7-methyl-1H-iden-4-yl) oxy]-3-[(1-methylethyl) amino]-2-but anol), against staurosporine-induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells.
Staurosporine increased caspase 3-like activity, DNA fragmentation, PARP cleavage, and the number of TUNEL positive cells consistent with the induction of apoptosis.

Bronchiolar stem cells have been functionally defined in vivo on the basis of their resistance to chemical (naphthalene) injury, their infrequent proliferation relative to other progenitor cell types, and their coexpression of the airway and alveolar secretory cell markers Clara cell secretory protein and pro-surfactant protein C, respectively.
Cell surface markers that have previously been used for their prospective isolation included Sca-1 and CD34.

An increase in the number of Sca-1 (+), CD34 (+) CD45 (-), Pecam (-) cells and activation of the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway was observed following unilateral pneumonectomy and naphthalene-induced airway injury.

Here we show that CaM antagonists N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene sulfonamide (W7), tamoxifen (TMX), and trifluoperazine (TFP) induce apoptotic events in human platelets, including depolarization of mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential, caspase-3 activation, and phosphatidylserine exposure.

Bladder cancer cell lines were treated with all-trans-retinoid acid (ATRA), N-4-hydroxyphenyl-retinamide (4-HPR) and 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4 hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid (CD437).
Only CD437 increased Caspase 3 expression.

Cancer Res. 2008 Oct 15;68(20):8573-81.

Furthermore, the cancer cells showed increased levels of activated caspase-3 and induced G (1) cell cycle arrest, which was suppressed by caspase-3 inhibitors.
