“…The present study shows that indomethacin significantly up-regulates Bax and Bak and down-regulates Bcl-2 and Bcl xL to stimulate apoptosis in the gastric mucosal cells. Indomethacin-induced up-regulation of Bax and Bak has also been evident in the gastric cancer cell line (39) and down-regulation of Bcl-2 has also been demonstrated earlier in chronic myeloid leukemia cells (40). However, the molecular mechanism behind the up-regulation of Bax and Bak and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl xL is still not clear.…”

“…In addition, DNA fragmentation was clearly detected via agarose gel electrophoresis; It is well known that apoptosis is linked with the activation of endonucleases and that it results in the fragmentation of DNA into well defined fragments which is seen upon electrophoretic examination as a characteristic ladder pattern (12,32). DNA strand breaks are also known to occur during the process of apoptosis, and nicks in the DNA molecules can be detected via TUNEL assay (34); such strand breaks were shown to occur in the BV-treated lung cancer cells.…”

“…The systematic fractionation of C. d. terrificus venom has revealed the presence of various toxins (convulxin, crotamine, crotoxin and gyroxin) and enzymes (5,11), some of which may exert a potentially damaging effect on cells. Some of these components can induce in treated cells a type of cell death known as apoptosis (5,23,26,40). Apoptosis is a programmed cell death with known morphological changes in the nucleus (24), actin filaments (16,27) and endoplasmic reticulum (17,32).…”
