Figure 6.

Western blot analyses of protein harvested from RMS cells treated with vehicle (0.1% DMSO), 1/2IC₅₀ or IC₅₀ of the complex 1, or cisplatin for 48 h, and probed with antibodies indicating effector and executioner caspases of the apoptotic pathways. Either β-actin or p38 was used as a loading control, and densitometry readings were obtained using the ImageJ software. Protein expression levels are represented as a ratio of protein of interest/β-actin or p38 normalized to vehicle control samples (where possible). Blots are representative of two independent repeats.
