Dose and time dependence of LCA and ent-LCA induced caspase
activation in HT-29 cells. A, increasing concentrations (250,
375, 500, and 625 μm) of LCA and ent-LCA were applied
for 4 h to HT-29 cells. B, 500 μm LCA and
ent-LCA were applied for increasing amounts of time (1, 2, 4, and 8
h) to HT-29 cells. In all of the experiments, attached and detached cells were
collected, and active and inactive caspase-3 and caspase-9 proteins were
detected. CTRL, control.
