physiological function | induces apoptotic death of human leukemia K562 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Degradation of procaspases, production of tBid, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, Bcl-2 degradation, mitochondrial translocation of Bax, and cytochrome c release in PLA2-treated cells. PLA2 treatment increases Fas and FasL protein expression and activates p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and JNK (c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase) in K562 cells. SB202190 pretreatment promotes the cytotoxic effect of PLA2 toward K562 cells in a time-dependent manner. SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) abolishes the cytotoxic effect of PLA2 and PLA2-induced autocrine Fas death pathway | Naja atra |
