Figure 3.
Effects of PT, ATST or a combination on apoptosis (A, SW620; B, HCT116) and cleaved-PARP levels (C). Cells were treated with PT (100 µM) ATST (10 µM) or a combination of the two for 48 h. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI co-staining, and protein levels were analyzed by western blotting. Data are shown as the mean ± SD (n=3). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 indicated statistical significance, compared with controls, as analyzed by the Student's t-test.
