Changes in the activity of caspases during exposure to PCBs. by Francesco Raggi (844655)

“…To confirm the specificity of PCB action on caspases, cells were also pre-treated with caspase inhibitors prior to PCB exposure. 20 μM Ac-DEVD-CHO (A), Ac-IETD-CHO (B) or Ac-LEHD-CHO (C) were used as inhibitors of caspase -3, -8 or -9, respectively. Data (mean ± SD of five independent experiments) were expressed as arbitrary units (A.U.); the value of 1 was attributed to the caspase activity of vehicle-exposed cells. **, p<0.001, ***, p<0.0001, compared with the vehicle, according to ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test. ##, p<0.005, ###, p<0.0005, p = n.s. …”
