PN elevates Apoptosis and DNA damage: (A) Representative dot-plot of flow-cytometric analysis of PN treated, vehicle treated and DX treated HeLa cells labeled with PI and analyzed by FCS Express.v5 software. (B) Representative dot-plot of flow-cytometric analysis of PN treated, vehicle treated and DX treated HeLa cells labeled with AnnexinV-FITC and analyzed by FCS Express.v5 software. (C) Changes in mean fluorescence intensity (PI) after PN treatment in HeLa cells. (D) Changes in mean fluorescence intensity (AnnexinV-FITC) after PN treatment in HeLa cells. Ordinary one-way ANOVA (Dunnett's multiple comparisons test) was performed to calculate the statistical difference (p≤0.05) among all treated groups as compared to vehicle treated group. (E) Changes in apoptotic unit (%) were measured via tunnel assay on incubating PN treated HeLa cells with Caspase 3 inhibitor (Z-DEVD-FMK-Caspase-3. Student t-test (two-tailed, paired) was performed to calculate the statistical difference (p≤0.002) among all treated groups as compared to vehicle treated group. PN: Pinostrobin, DX: Doxorubicin, VC: Vehicle control. *, p≤0.05; **, p≤0.01; ***, p≤0.005; ****, p≤0.001.
