TLDR
A flow cytometric method for measuring the percentage of apoptotic nuclei after propidium iodide staining in hypotonic buffer is developed and shown an excellent correlation with the results obtained with both electrophoretic and colorimetric methods.

Mutation of CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) Gene in Adult T-Cell Leukemia Cells

TL;DR: The finding that Fas-negative ATL cells were resistant to adriamycin-induced apoptosis in vitro, which is consistent with the finding that ATL in this case was resistant to chemotherapy, indicates that mutation of the Fas gene may be associated with the progression of ATL and with resistance to anticancer drugs.

A Chemical and Genetic Approach Together Define the Biological Consequences of 3-Methyladenine Lesions in the Mammalian Genome

TL;DR: The combined use of these two experimental tools has defined the biological consequences of 3-methyladenine, a DNA lesion produced by endogenous cellular metabolites, environmental carcinogens, and chemotherapeutic alkylating agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar macrophages that phagocytose apoptotic neutrophils produce hepatocyte growth factor during bacterial pneumonia in mice.

TL;DR: Results strongly indicate a novel mechanism of HGF production by AMs, which are phagocytosing apoptotic neutrophils, and the pivotal role of AMs in the healing and repair of damaged pulmonary epithelium through the production of H GF.

Cellular disposition of sulphamethoxazole and its metabolites: implications for hypersensitivity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the balance between oxidation of SMX to its toxic metabolites and their reduction is an important protective cellular mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

hTERT: a novel endogenous inhibitor of the mitochondrial cell death pathway.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that hTERT depletion has no adverse effects on the viability or proliferation of cervical and colon carcinoma cell lines, as evaluated within 72 h after transfection with hTERTs-specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs).

A study of the conditions and mechanism of the diphenylamine reaction for the colorimetric estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid

TL;DR: The present study arose from the observation that a more intense colour was sometimes produced if, instead of being heated at 1000 for 10 min., the reaction mixture was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature.

Cell death : the significance of apoptosis

TL;DR: It has proved feasible to categorize most if not all dying cells into one or the other of two discrete and distinctive patterns of morphological change, which have, generally, been found to occur under disparate but individually characteristic circumstances.

Practical Flow Cytometry

TL;DR: Using Flow Cytometers: Applications, Extensions, and Alternatives as mentioned in this paper is an excellent overview of the history of the field of Flow Sorting, its applications, extensions, and alternatives.

Monoclonal antibody-mediated tumor regression by induction of apoptosis

TL;DR: Histological thin sections of the regressing tumor showed that anti-APO-1 was able to induce apoptosis in vivo, suggesting induction of apoptosis as a consequence of a signal mediated through cell surface molecules like APO- 1 may be a useful therapeutic approach in treatment of malignancy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromatin cleavage in apoptosis: association with condensed chromatin morphology and dependence on macromolecular synthesis.

TL;DR: The data confirm that the condensed chromatin which characterizes apoptosis morphologically consists of endogenously digested chromatin fragments, and provide support for the view that at least some cells enter apoptosis by a process dependent upon macromolecular synthesis.
