Mcl-1 is a common target of cardiac glycosides. U937 cells were treated for 24 h with the indicated concentrations of (a) the cardenolides ouabain, digitoxin and digoxin or (b) the bufadienolides cinobufagin and proscillaridin A. Apoptosis was quantified by analysis the nuclear morphology. Values are the mean of three independent experiments +/− S.D. The levels of the three major anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins were analyzed in parallel by western blot. One of three independent experiments is shown. Statistical analysis was performed with one-way ANOVA test (post-hoc test: Sidak). Significance is reported as *P<0.01, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 respect control values
