Abstract

Gaudichaudione A, a cytotoxic xanthone obtained from Garcinia gaudichaudii, displayed strong growth inhibitory effects against Jurkat human leukemic cells, parental murine leukemic P388 and P388/DOX-resistant cell lines, and exhibited similar cytotoxicity against P388/DOX as well as P388, but was less toxic toward normal human Chang liver cells. A variety of apoptotic events induced by gaudichaudione A at the mitochondrial and nuclear levels has been characterized. It appears that gaudichaudione A induced a collapse of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. Caspase-3 was activated and induced internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and externalization of PS residues. The apoptotic features were also observed in ultrastructural studies.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
