Recent studies indicate that arsenic may generate reactive oxygen species to exert its toxicity. However, the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that arsenite is able to induce apoptosis in a concentration-and time-dependent manner; however, arsenate is unable to do so. An inc

## Abstract 3‐Hydroxyanthranilic acid (3HAA) is one of the tryptophan metabolites along the kynurenine pathway and induces apoptosis in T cells. We investigated the mechanism of 3HAA‐induced apoptosis in mouse thymocytes. The optimal concentration of 3HAA for apoptosis induction was 300–500 µM. The
## Abstract Apoptosis of mesangial cells is an important mode of cell death that maintains normal morphology and function within the glomerulus during development and in normal cell turnover; it is also important in pathological processes. Stimulation of rat mesangial cells via P2X~7~ receptors can
## Abstract Huperzine A, a novel __Lycopodium__ alkaloid originally discovered in the Chinese herb Qian Ceng Ta (__Huperzia serrata__), is a reversible, potent, and selective acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor and has been extensively used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in China.
## Abstract Fenretinide, which mediates apoptosis in neuroblastoma cells, is being considered as a novel therapeutic for neuroblastoma. The cytotoxic mechanisms of fenretinide, however, have not been fully elucidated. Sustained‐activation of JNK and p38 MAPK signaling has been shown recently to hav
