FIGURE 2.
Effect of epigenetic inhibitors on docetaxel-induced cytotoxicity in LNCaP cells. Cells were pretreated with 5-Aza or TSA for 30 min prior to 48 hr exposure to docetaxel and cytotoxicity was measured via changes in MTT staining (A, B) and phase contrast microscopy (C-F). Data in A and B are indicative of results from at least 6 separate passages per cell line (n ≥ 6) and are expressed as mean ± SD. (* p < 0.05 compared to control, # p < 0.05 compared to respective docetaxel treatment alone by One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferonni post-hoc test)
