Effect of TZD on apoptosis in pancreatic tumor cells. Extent of apoptosis following treatment of pancreatic cancer cell lines with 20 μmol/L of TZD (RGZ or PGZ) for three days was measured by the incorporation of FITC-dUTP in the presence of TdT enzyme to detect DNA fragmentation as described in Methods. Cells were stained with RNase A/PI and analyzed by flow cytometry. The mean±SD of five independent experiments each performed in triplicate are shown.
