Dioscin-induced apoptosis in PC3 cells and mammospheres. (a) Effects of dioscin (1.4, 2.8 and 5.6 μM) for 24 h on apoptosis of PC3 cells using flow cytometry analysis. (b) Effects of dioscin (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 μM) for 24 h on apoptosis of PC3 cell-derived mammospheres using flow cytometry analysis. (c) Effects of dioscin (1.4, 2.8 and 5.6 μM) for 24 h on cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP, Bax and Bcl-2 expression levels in PC3 cells. (d) Effects of dioscin (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 μM) for 24 h on cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PARP, Bax and Bcl-2 expression levels in PC3 cell-derived mammospheres. Data are presented as the mean±S.D.
