title: [Research progress on oxidative stress and apoptosis].
abstract: Many research findings revealed that oxidative stress may induce apoptosis. At present, the explanations for this phenomenon are: 1) ROS activated nuclear factor-KB and induction of the expression of nuclear factor-KB; 2) mitochondria-mediated cell apoptosis; 3) ROS mediated DNA damage and P53 activation; 4) ROS activated SAPK pathway to apoptosis. In this paper, the progress on oxidative stress and apoptosis was reviewed.
