Figure 3. Psoralidin showed little effect on apoptosis in A549 cells.

Figure 3

(A) Fluorescent staining of nuclei in A549 cells by Hoechst 33342. (B) Flow cytometry assay to detect apoptosis in A549 cells using Annexin V staining. There is no significant difference among control group and psoralidin treated groups. NS, no significant vs. Con. (C) The expression of apoptosis related proteins were analyzed by Western blot in A549 cells receiving psoralidin treatment. (D) The cell viability was measured by MTT assay after treatment with psoralidin in the absence or presence of Z-VAD-FMK or Ac-DEVD-CHO. ∗∗P < 0.01 vs. Con; NS, no significant vs. psoralidin only-treated group. Con, control.
