Effect of boldine on cytochrome c, membrane permeability, and MMP. (A) Representative images of boldine-treated and untreated MDA-MB-231 cells, stained with Hoechst 33342 for nuclear, cytochrome c, membrane permeability, MMP dyes. Boldine induced a noteworthy elevation in membrane permeability, cytochrome c release, and marked reduction in MMP (magnification, 200×). (B) Representative bar charts indicating mean fluorescence intensities of cell permeability, MMP, and cytochrome c release in control and boldine-treated MDA-MB-231 cells. *P<0.05 by Student’s t-test.

Abbreviation: MMP, mitochondrial membrane potential.
