Figure 6. PKCγ C1B mutations cause N/N1003A cells to be more susceptible to H2O2-induced apoptosis (caspase-3 activity assay): prevention using a gap junction inhibitor.
Cells were treated with 100 μM H2O2 for different time periods. Cell apoptosis was determined by caspase-3 activity assay. In addition, cells were pre-incubated with 200 μM AGA for 30 min followed by addition of 100 μM H2O2 for additional 3 h and caspase-3 activation was analyzed (AGA+H2O2 (3h) columns) . * indicates significant changes compared to levels in control cells with overexpression of wild type PKCγ.
