Figure 2.
Induction of G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis by FX in A549 and H1299 cells. A549 (A) and H1299 (B) cells after the 48-h treatment of FX were stained with PI, then DNA content was analyzed by flow cytometry. G0/G1, S and G2/M indicate different cell cycle phases. Annexin V-FITC/PI staining assay of A549 (C) and H1299 (D) cells was analyzed by flow cytometry to detect apoptosis after FX treatment for 48 h and Q4 represent cells in apoptotic stage. Data are presented as means ± SD (n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared to the control group, # p < 0.05, compared to the FX 12.5 μM treatment group.
