Figure 2. Effect of cordycepin on apoptosis.

Figure 2

Two apoptosis assays—Annexin V-FITC and caspase 3/7—were performed to analyze the effect of cordycepin on apoptosis in SNU719 cells. (A) The Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection assay was performed in triple repeats. Early apoptosis was suppressed by cordycepin by up to 64%, but increased late apoptosis/necrosis by up to 31% in SNU719 cells treated with cordycepin for 48 h. SDW, blank treatment; Cordycepin, 125 μM cordycepin treatment. (B) The caspase 3/7 assay was conducted in triple repeats. Caspase 3 and 7 activities were gradually decreased in SNU719 cells in response to 100 and 200 μM cordycepin treatments. Numbers 0, 100, and 200 indicate the micromolar concentrations of the cordycepin treatments. P-values <0.05 (95% confidence) were considered statistically significant.
