## Abstract Caffeine attenuated invasion of human leukemia U937 cells with characteristic of decreased protein expression and mRNA levels of matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) and MMP‐9. Down‐regulation of MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 in U937 cells was abrogated by abolishment of caffeine‐elicited increase in i

## Abstract Fas and FasL expression upregulation was found in human leukemia K562 cells upon exposure to __Naja naja atra__ phospholipase A~2~ (PLA~2~). PLA~2~ treatment induced an increase in intracellular Ca^2+^ ([Ca^2+^]i) and ROS generation levels, leading to activation of p38 MAPK and JNK. Sup
## Abstract The aim of the present study is to explore the signaling pathway associated with __Naja naja atra__ phospholipase A~2~ (PLA~2~)‐induced apoptotic death of human leukemia U937 cells. Degradation of procaspases, production of tBid, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and cytochrome
