As an extension of our recently published work (Mlejnek and Kuglík [2000] J. Cell. Biochem. 77:6-17), the role of caspases in N(6)-benzylaminopurine riboside (BAPR)-induced apotosis in HL-60 cells was evaluated in this study. Here, BAPR-induced apoptosis was accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. However, when these caspases were selectively inhibited, the progression of BAPR-induced apoptosis was not markedly affected. Besides that, activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 was found to be rather late event in apoptotic process. These results suggested that other caspases might be critically implicated. Indeed, pan-specific caspase inhibitor, Z-VAD-FMK, completely prevented DNA cleavage and apoptotic bodies formation. However, Z-VAD-FMK failed to prevent cell death and it was incapable to fully counteract the main apoptotic hallmark-chromatin condensation. Finally, our data indicate that cellular decision between apoptosis and necrosis is made upon the availability of both caspase proteases and intracellular ATP.
