Apoptosis assays using Annexin V and propidium iodide. Cells were incubated with moderate/low (36 μg/mL) and high (54 μg/mL) doses of Cunninghamella elegans FALS and then trypsinized. The apoptotic/necrotic and ferroptotic portions (of detached cells) were analyzed with flow cytometry. Alive cells are shown as Annexin V-/PI-; cells in early apoptosis are represented by Annexin V+/PI-; cells in late apoptosis appear as Annexin-V+/PI+; and necrotic or ferroptotic cells are Annexin V-/PI+. (A) Alive PC-3 cells were used as a control sample, with a stable rate of apoptosis of about 0.5%. (B–D) The effects of the low FALS dose were assessed at 12, 24, and 48 h, and loss of cell viability down to 84% was documented. (F–H) The effects of the high dose were assessed and found to decrease cell viability by 21%. (E) The fattened cells were found to have a great portion of non-viable cells, despite the constant presence of FALS.
