Effects of MM on cell cycle progression, senescence and apoptosis in MPM cells. (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.)
A). Propidium iodide staining demonstrating that 24 hour MM treatment induces dose dependent G0/G1 arrest in MPM cells.
B). ß-galactosidase staining assays demonstrating that 24 hour MM treatment induces dose dependent senescence in MES1 and MES7 cells.
C) and D). Apo-BrdU analysis demonstrating minimal apoptosis in MPM cells immediately following 24 hour MM exposure (C), but significant dose-dependent apoptosis 48 hours following drug treatment (D).
