Cannabinoid receptor activation induces skin tumor cell apoptosis. (a) The tumorigenic epidermal cell lines PDV.C57 (open symbols) and HaCa4 (closed symbols) were cultured with 25 nM WIN-55,212-2 alone (circles), or in combination with 0.2 μM SR141716 (SR1) (squares), or 0.2 μM SR144528 (SR2) (triangles), and cell viability was determined (n = 5). (b) The nontransformed epidermal cell lines MCA3D (open circles) and HaCat (closed circles), as well as primary human keratinocytes (closed squares), were cultured with 25 nM WIN-55,212-2, and cell viability was determined (n = 4). (c and d) PDV.C57 cells were cultured as described before, and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation (c) (n = 6), and TUNEL staining (d) (one representative experiment of four) were assessed. *Significantly different (P < 0.01) from control incubations.
