Fig. 4. Breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane potential after irradiation occurs prior to caspase activation. Prior to irradiation (10 Gy) cells were pretreated with the broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor zVAD (20 µM). No influence on the breakdown of {Delta}{Psi}m was detectable (A), although caspase activation indicated by the abrogation of PARP cleavage was blocked (B).
