ARC is an apoptotic regulatory protein expressed almost exclusively in myogenic cells. It
contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) through which it has been shown to block
the activation of some initiator caspases. Because ARC also blocks caspase-independent
events associated with apoptosis, such as hypoxia-induced cytochromec release, we
examined its role in cell death triggered by exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in the
myogenic cell line, H9c2. Cell death in this model was caspase-independent and …
