Title Colchicine-induced apoptosis was prevented by glycogen synthase kinase-3 inhibitors in PC12 cells.
Journal Cell Mol Neurobiol
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine whether glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is involved in colchicine-induced cell death in PC12 cells by using GSK inhibitors. Colchicine increased apoptotic cell death with morphological changes characterized by cell shrinkage and nuclear condensation or fragmentation. GSK-3 inhibitors such as alsterpaullone, SB216763, and AR-A014418 prevented colchicine-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation. These results suggest that colchicine induces caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death and that GSK-3 activation is involved in cell death in PC12 cells.
