Infection induces programmed cell death, caspase activation, and release of high-mobility group box 1 protein in A549 alveolar epithelial cells: inhibition by methyl prednisolone-8

Abstract

TUNEL method was analyzed by flow cytometry. The nuclear DNA fragmentation of virulent strain AA100jm-infected cells without (A) and with methyl prednisolone (B), is shown with no-pretreatment/no-stimulation cells (control) (C), and 30 μM mitomycin C-exposed cells without (D) and with methyl prednisolone (E). FS indicates the cell sizes. m-P; methyl prednisolone.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "infection induces programmed cell death, caspase activation, and release of high-mobility group box 1 protein in A549 alveolar epithelial cells: inhibition by methyl prednisolone"</p><p>Respiratory Research 2008;9(1):39-39.</p><p>Published online 1 May 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2390540.</p><p></p
