摘要
We have applied to human HeLa cells two different stimuli of apoptosis: the antitumoral drug etoposide, and a more 'physiological' death condition, obtained by growing cells in the same medium for long time periods, for up to 10 days. Analysis of different parameters demonstrated that in both experimental systems the same apoptotic features are visible. However, the DNA degradation pattern appeared to be different, suggesting the involvement of different DNases, In this view, we have analyzed the activity and expression of Ca2+-Mg2+-dependent and acid DNases, We have observed that DNase I is not modulated during apoptosis, In contrast, the acid L-DNase Il(derived from Leukocyte Elastase Inhibitor by post-translational modification), recently identified in our laboratory, is mainly active in the apoptotic pathway induced by long term-culture. Furthermore, we have provided evidence that while caspase 3 is activated by both inducers, caspase 1 is essential only for the etoposide-induced apoptosis.
