Actinomycin D induces non-random apoptotic DNA breakpoints in human leukemia HL-60 cells.

Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that is induced by prolonged cellular stress. During apoptosis, caspase-activated DNase cleaves DNA at the internucleosomal regions to produce an “apoptotic ladder” that consists of multiples of 180-200bp. We postulate that these apoptotic DNA breakpoints are non...
