Table 2.
The percentages of both apoptotic (late and early) and necrotic cells induced by the extract in both MCF-7 and HFS cells stained with annexin V/propidium iodide as observed by flow cytometry.
| Cell type Concentration | MCF-7 |
HFS |
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 25% | 50% | 75% | Control | 25% | 50% | 75% | |
| % apoptotic cells | 0.9 | 1.35 | 1.05 | 1.95 | 1.85 | 2.2 | 1.5 | 2.6 |
| % necrotic cells | 6.7 | 4.25 | 5.95 | 5.9 | 3.5 | 4.1 | 4.85 | 4.15 |
| P | 0.445 | 0.917 | 0.508 | 0.381 | 0.728 | 0.621 | 0.186 | 0.177 |
Insignificant differences were observed between apoptotic and necrotic cells for each concentration, where P > 0.05 by using Dunnett’s test (two-sided).
