Apoptosis induced in primary hepatocytes by transforming growth factor beta1 and staurosporine produced chromatin condensation, DNA cleavage is detected by in situ end-labelling, field inversion and conventional gel electrophoresis, and cell detachment. These effects were abolished by benzyloxycarbonyl-valinylalanylaspartylfluoromethyl ketone, a cleavage-site-directed inhibitor of interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-like proteases, and this finding suggests that these enzymes are involved in liver apoptosis.
转化生长因子β1和星形孢菌素在原代肝细胞中诱导的细胞凋亡产生了染色质浓缩,通过原位末端标记、脉冲场凝胶电泳和常规凝胶电泳检测到DNA裂解以及细胞脱离。这些效应被苄氧羰基-缬氨酰丙氨酰天冬氨酰氟甲基酮(一种白细胞介素-1β转化酶样蛋白酶的切割位点定向抑制剂)消除,这一发现表明这些酶参与了肝脏细胞凋亡。
