Cell integrity, cell cycle and quantified sub-G1 phase of alcohol-injured BNL murine embryonic liver cells treated with PA2. Cells were protected dose-dependently by PA2. All samples were pre-treated with 10% alcohol for 1 h, except for the (A) negative control sample. The alcohol-containing medium was then replaced with fresh medium with either (B) 0, (C) 1, (D) 5, (E) 10, (F) 25 or (G) 50 µg/ml PA2 for an additional 24-h culture. Cell integrity (dot plot; x-axis, cell-size; y-axis, granularity) and accumulated DNA content (histogram plot) of cell cycle were obtained by flow cytometry. PA2 dose-dependently reduced the proportion of sub-G1 phase cells (quantitative data value) and normalized cell-integrity. The sub-G1 values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, n=3. *P<0.05 vs. negative control group; #P<0.05 vs. alcohol-containing medium group; PA2, procyanidin A2.
