Fig. 3. Differential caspase signaling regulates cell viability.

Fig. 3

(A to E) Differential regulation of (A) cleaved caspase 3, (B) cleaved caspase 8, (C) cleaved caspase 9, (D) cPARP, and (E) γH2AX in Jurkat cells exposed to 300 mosmol/liter NaCl by a step (black) or a 10-hour ramp (magenta). The left panel shows selected single-cell distributions over the cumulative exposure with individual lines representing independent experiments. Red line indicates the threshold for determining the ON-fraction. Right panels represent ON-fraction mean and SD of 3 to 10 independent experiments as a function of cumulative exposure of NaCl. (F) ON-fraction kinetics of caspase signaling markers over time indicate early (caspase 3 and cPARP) and late (caspase 8 and 9) activation. Lines indicate mean and SD of 3 to 10 independent experiments.
