Figure 4. Effect of 2Py on apoptosis and cell cycle in LNCaP, C4-2, PC-3 and DU 145 cells.
Cells were brought to 50% confluence and then cultured in RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS medium with DMSO or 15 µM 2Py for 48 h. The cells were trypsinized and stained with propidium iodide and analyzed on a flow cytometer. The percentage of apoptotic events (Panel A), cell viability (Panel B), and the percentage of cells in G0 and G2M and S phase of the cell cycle (Panels C, D and E) were determined (n=3). Histograms of cell cycle distribution in control and 2Py treated cells (Panel F).
