Figure 7. Photoactivated hypericin-induced increase in RINm5F insulinoma cell apoptosis verified by flow cytometric analysis.

Figure 7

(A) Representative flow cytometric dot-plots of cells exposed to solvent control treatment (control) (i), solvent control treatment followed by photoactivation (control/photoactivation) (ii), hypericin loading (hypericin) (iii) and hypericin loading followed by photoactivation (hypericin/photoactivation) (iv) respectively. (B) Flow cytometric quantification of the percentage of apoptotic cells in control, control/photoactivation, hypericin and hypericin/photoactivation groups. The percentage of apoptotic cells significantly increased in hypericin/photoactivation group (N=3) in comparison with the other three groups (N=3). **P<0.01 compared with control, control/photoactivation and hypericin.
