Table 4.
Effect of 5b on levels of BAX and Bcl-2 genes expression in A549 cells treated for 72 h.
| Sample | Gene expression (fold change)a |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| BAX | Bcl-2 | BAX/Bcl-2 ratio | |
| A549 | 1.00 ± 0.19 | 1.00 ± 0.17 | 1.00 ± 0.03 |
| 5b/A549 | 2.97 ± 0.14** | 0.37 ± 0.06* | 8.35 ± 1.09** |
aValues are given as changes from the corresponding control (A549) group, which is set to “1”.
*p < 0.05 **p < 0.01 indicate statistically significant differences from the corresponding control in unpaired t-tests.
