Treatment with cryptolepine disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential in melanoma cells. (a) Representative melanoma cell lines (A375 and Hs294t) were treated with various concentrations of cryptolepine (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 µM) for 24 h. Thereafter, cells were harvested, incubated with Rhodamine 123 and then analyzed for loss of mitochondrial disruption using flow cytometry. Data were compared with non-cryptolepine-treated cells. Treatment groups are shown in color. (b) Percentage of cells with mitochondrial disruption in different treatment groups was determined. The resultant data are presented in terms of the percentage of cells with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and as means ± SD, n = 3. Statistical difference versus control, *P < 0.05 and P < 0.01.
