TUNEL assay in different tissues.
Notes: Sections of kidney, spleen, and liver tissues of control, PP, TP, and PPT treatment groups were processed for TUNEL assay in order to detect the apoptosis of kidney, spleen, and liver. Nucleus was stained with DAPI (blue), and the apoptosis was stained with green (magnification ×200).
Abbreviations: PP, l-PAE-γ-PGA complex; l-PAE, l-phenylalanine ethylester; γ-PGA, poly-γ-glutamic acid; TP, triptolide; PPT, γ-PGA-l-PAE-TP; TUNEL, terminal-deoxynucleotidyl dUTP transferase nick-end labeling; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole.
