[HTML][HTML] Multiple pathways of apoptosis in PC12 cells: CrmA inhibits apoptosis induced by β-amyloid

KJ Ivins, JK Ivins, JP Sharp, CW Cotman - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 - ASBMB
Stable transfectants of PC12 cells expressing bcl-2 or crmA were generated and tested for
their susceptibility to various apoptotic insults. Bcl-2 expression conferred resistance to
apoptosis induced by staurosporine and by oxidative insults including hydrogen peroxide
and peroxynitrite, but was less effective in inhibition of activation-induced programmed cell
death induced by concanavalin A. Concanavalin A-induced apoptosis was abated, however,
in cells expressing very high levels of bcl-2. In contrast, cells expressing crmA were …
