Cucurbitacin D induces G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF7/ADR cells. MCF7/ADR cells were treated with cucurbitacin D (0.5 μg/mL) in the presence and absence of doxorubicin (1 μM) for 24 h. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed using a FACS flow cytometer (a). MCF7/ADR cells were treated with the indicated drugs for 24 h and subjected to Annexin V/PI assay. b Effect of cucurbitacin D on the expression of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-8, and cleaved PARP. MCF7/ADR cells were treated with cucurbitacin D (0.5 μg/mL) in the presence and absence of doxorubicin (1 μM) for 24 h. The cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis using specific antibodies (c)
