Sch B modulates the expression of key pro- and anti-apoptotic molecules in mouse AML-12 and RAW 264.7 cells.
Notes: Cells were treated with Sch B at 0.1, 1, 10, and 25 μM for 24 hours and then the protein samples were subject to Western blotting assay. (A) Representative blots of Bcl-xl, Bcl-2, Bax, cytochrome c, cleaved PARP, and cleaved caspase 3 in AML-12 and RAW 264.7 cells and Bar graphs showing the relative levels of Bcl-xl, Bcl-2, Bax, cytochrome c, cleaved PARP, and cleaved caspase 3 in mouse AML-12 (B) and RAW 264.7 cells (C). β-Actin was used as the internal control. Data are the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; and ***P<0.001 by one-way ANOVA.
Abbreviations: Sch B, schisandrin B; SEM, standard error of the mean; ANOVA, analysis of variance; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma 2; Bcl-xl, B-cell lymphoma extra-large; Bax, Bcl-2-like protein4/Bcl-2-associated X protein; PARP, poly-adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase.
