The effects of SAHA and TRAIL DR5 on cell viability and apoptosis of cancer cells. After transfected by TRAIL DR5 siRNA, MDA-MB-231 or MCF-7 cells were incubated with either 5 μM or 10 μM SAHA for 24 h, respectively. Fifty milliliters cell suspension from 2×105 of collected cells was added with 450 μl count and viability reagent. Muse count and viability software module was used to analyze the results. For the apoptotic assay, 100 μl of Muse annexin V and dead cell reagent was added with 1×106 cells for 20 min at room temperature. Muse cell analyzer was used to determine the percentages of alive, apoptosis, and dead cells. (a) The apoptosis profile in MDA-MB-231. (b) The cell viability profile in MDA-MB-231. (c) The cell count in MDA-MB-231. (d) The apoptosis profile in MCF-7. (e) The cell viability profile in MCF-7. (f) The cell count in MCF-7. Relative quantitative values represent mean±S.E.M.; * represents statistical significance of P<0.05 comparing with Basal.
