Effects of papaya pectin in HCT116, HT29 and PC3 apoptosis by flow cytometry. Cancer cells had induced late apoptosis/necroptosis with 3PP. Cells were treated with 0.20% of 3 PP and 4 PP pectin for 24 h. (A) Percentage of viable cells. (B) Percentage of apoptotic cells. (C) Percentage of necroptotic cells. (D) Percentage of necrotic cells. (E) Flow cytometry plots of HCT116. (F) Flow cytometry plots of HT29. (G) Flow cytometry plots of PC3. The results were expressed in percentage of cells in comparison with control (no treatment). Results were represented as mean ± SD of two independent WSF samples, each one performed in technical triplicate, from the biological duplicate (n = 4). *P < 0.05 vs control, according to Dunnett’s test. PP: papaya pectin (water-soluble fraction).
