Effect of Parmelia sulcata extract (PSE) on PARP cleavage (a) and caspase-3 activity (b). The cells were treated with 100 μg/ml PSE and 3.12 μM Paclitaxel (as a positive control) for 72 h. Active caspase-3 not shown in part b as MCF-7 cells are not able to produce this enzyme. Asterisks denote statistically significant change from control (p < 0.05)
