✦ Synopsis

An early indicator of apoptosis in mammalian cells is the loss of the phospholipid membrane asymmetry of the cell. This results in exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer surface of the plasma membrane. This change in membrane asymmetry can be analysed using annexin V. A further feature of apoptosis, DNA breaks, can be measured by the TUNEL assay. Using flow cytometry, we have identified both of these features in HL-60 cells and by modifying the techniques for plants, we have verified that these features also occur in plant cells undergoing apoptosis.

In both plant and HL-60 cells, apoptosis was induced by treatment with camptothecin (1 M). Annexin V binding was found to be an early indicator of apoptosis, occurring prior to the detection of DNA strand breaks as monitored by the TUNEL assay. In plant cells, chromatin condensation was detected prior to the detection of annexin V. No loss in membrane integrity occurred with apoptotic cells in comparison with necrotic cells. Our findings indicate that a form of apoptosis occurs in plants, with flow cytometric characteristics similar to those of apoptosis in HL-60 cells.

Background: Current cytotoxic assays, including Cr release and fluorescent assays, do not directly measure the proportion of target cells which are killed by apoptosis. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by CTLs and NK cells is mainly regulated by the perforin-granzyme, the Fas ligand (Fas L), and t

Background: Induction of apoptosis in adherent cell lines is associated with cell loss from the substratum. In this study the adenocarcinoma cell line, HT29, treated with indomethacin (400M) has been employed as a model system to demonstrate how flow cytometric analysis can be used to quantify the c

## Abstract Tumors frequently acquire resistance to apoptosis that is expected to contribute to malignant phenotype and reduce sensitivity to treatment. In fact, inactivation of __p53__ tumor suppressor gene resulting in suppression of apoptosis serves as a negative prognostic marker. Surprisingly,
