Figure 6. Effects of bilirubin on cell cycle and apoptosis in cerebellar granular and astrocytes primary cell cultures.

A) Celll cycle analysis by FACS on cerebellar primary cell cultures exposed to 126 nM of Bf (black bars) and vehicle: 0.5% DMSO (white bars). B) Western blot analysis of cCasp3 expression in astrocytes (grey bars) and granular cells (black bars) primary cell cultures exposed to 126 nM of Bf vs. vehicle (0.5% DMSO, white bars). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical significance: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
