Growth inhibition and apoptosis induction following administration of PAK4 inhibitor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines. Human OSCC cell lines, HSC-2, HSC-3, HSC-4, and Ca9-22, and mouse OSCC cell lines, SCCVII and NR-S1K, were cultured in PAK4 inhibitor, PF-3758309, for 48 h. (a) The proliferative activity of cells was measured using the WST-1 cell proliferation assay. The asterisks indicate a significant difference between two groups. (b) The cells were stained with FITC-conjugated annexin V and propidium iodide (PI). The proportion of apoptotic cells was calculated as the percentage of annexin V-positive cells. Annexin V-positive/PI-negative cells were considered early apoptotic, whereas annexin V-positive/PI-positive cells were considered late apoptotic cells.
