Increased MnSOD protein increased sensitivity to dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. A. Number of viable cells in culture after the addition of dexamethasone. B. Percentage of apoptotic cells in culture 16 h after dexamethasone treatment. Cells that were annexin V positive and propidium iodide negative were considered apoptotic. The values have been corrected for the % apoptosis in vehicle-treated cell cultures. Values are the mean ± S.E.M. (n=3). * denotes significantly different from Mneo1 values (p ≤ 0.05). These are representative experiments which have been replicated.
