Toxicoproteomic investigation of the molecular mechanisms of cycloheximide-induced hepatocellular apoptosis in rat liver

C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) is a transcriptional factor and is induced under conditions such as the unfolded protein response or amino acid starvation. A previous study showed that the transcriptional level of CHOP was highly increased in rat liver in which hepatocellular apoptosis was induced by cycloheximide (CHX) treatment. Here, we investigated the relationship between hepatocellular apoptosis and CHOP-mediated apoptotic pathway, and...
