However, unlike camptothecin-induced apoptosis, changes in mitochondrial transmembrane potential were not observed. In addition, cytochrome c release did not occur in PS-induced apoptosis. A pan caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD, significantly inhibited the apoptosis, but inhibitors of caspase-1, -3, -8 and -9 did not. Activities of caspase-1, -3, -8 and -9 were increased by treatment of the cells with camptothecin, but not with PS. These results suggest that PS-induced apoptosis occurs without the collapse of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and without the release of cytochrome c, in a manner independent of caspase-1, -3, -8 and -9.}, pages = {73--77}, title = {Phosphatidylserine induces apoptosis in CHO cells without mitochondrial dysfunction in a manner dependent on caspases other than caspases-1, -3, -8 and -9.}, volume = {504}, year = {2001} }
