Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine seven of eleven acute myeloid leukemia cell lines show cytotoxic responses to anthrax lethal toxin LeTx. Cytotoxicity is mimicked by the specific mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor U0126, indicating involvement of the ERK1/2 branch of the MAPK pathway. The four LeTx-resistant cell lines are sensitive to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002. with a lack of additive/synergistic effects when both pathways are inhibited. Phospho-ERK1/2 is only present in LeTx-sensitive cells. LeTx-induced cell death is caspase-independent and nonapoptotic Bacillus anthracis
