cellular
• attenuated cell death in the response of embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) to various ER stress inducers, including brefeldin A, thapsigargin and tunicamycin
• attenuated caspase-3-like activity in MEFs
• attenuated accumulation of the active form of caspase-3 in MEFs
• decreased renal tubule apoptosis (shown by TUNEL staining) caused by systemic tunicamycin injection
• normal death responses of the MEFs to UV light, adriamycin and staurosporine
|
• decreased renal tubule apoptosis (shown by TUNEL staining) caused by systemic tunicamycin injection
|
renal/urinary system
• decreased renal tubule apoptosis (shown by TUNEL staining) caused by systemic tunicamycin injection
|
• decreased renal tubule apoptosis (shown by TUNEL staining) caused by systemic tunicamycin injection
• more limited tubular damage in the kidney
• small vacuoles in cytoplasm of tubular cells in some areas
• the cellular and tubular architecture is preserved
