To demonstrate whether protein synthesis is required for ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis through activation of caspases in human leukaemia cell line MOLT-4, the effects of a protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, on the apoptotic signalling pathway including the activation of caspase family and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK), and the expression of Fas/CD95/APO-1 (Fas) were examined in X-irradiated MOLT-4 cells.
