"[Expression of IRF-1 causes apoptosis in gastric cancer cell lines as shown by phosphatidylserine exposure and cleavage of caspase-8, caspase-3, and Bid with the mitochondrial release of cytochrome c. However, inhibition of caspase-8 and Bid did not inhibit apoptosis and did not decrease cleaved caspase-9 or mitochondrial release of cytochrome c. We then show that IRF-1 upregulates PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis), which is known to activate apoptosis by the intrinsic pathway; this can be p53-independent.].
