Abstract;Effects of three kinds of antagonists against reactive oxygen species were evaluated at the same time in chemically induced apoptosis of human leukemic HL-60 cells. Apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by actinomycin D and daunorubicin was significantly inhibited by radical scavengers. Caspase-3-like protease activity was increased in cells treated with actinomycin D or daunorubicin. Among ceramides, C16:0 was most abundant. the concentration of C16:0 ceramide increased after the addition of actinomycin D or daunorubicin. This increase in the ceramide was inhibited by antioxidants, indicating that the generation of ROS preceded that of ceramide generation. (author abst.)
