Agaricus blazei Extract Induces Apoptosis through ROS-Dependent JNK Activation Involving the Mitochondrial Pathway and Suppression of Constitutive NF-κB in THP-1 Cells
Figure 7
Proposed mechanisms for the apoptotic
effects of ABE in THP-1 cells. The apoptotic mechanism was mediated by
the generation of ROS, phosphorylation of JNK, release of cytochrome
c into cytoplasm, and activation of caspases. Additionally,
expression of IAPs, which have inhibitory effect of caspases, was abolished by
inhibition of NF-κB.
