Induction of apoptosis by SSE15206. (A) SSE15206 induces cleaved PARP and p53. HCT116, A549, and CAL-51 cells were treated with 0.5 μM, 1 μM and 2 μM SSE15206 for 24 hours and levels of cleaved PARP, p53, and p21 were analyzed by western blotting using specific antibodies. Alpha-tubulin was used as loading control. (B) Increased Annexin V/PI staining in cells treated with SSE15206. Cells treated with 1 μM and 2 μM SSE15206 for 24 and 48 hours were stained with FITC-labelled Annexin V/PI and analyzed by FACS. The left panel shows FACS data for cells treated for 48 hours, whereas the graph on the right shows quantification of cells treated with two concentrations of SSE15206 for 24 and 48 hours (One-way ANOVA 24 h: F (2,6) = 5.309, p < 0.05; post-hoc: SSE15206 1 μM vs. DMSO *p < 0.05, SSE15206 2 μM vs. DMSO *p < 0.05; One-way ANOVA 48 h: F (2, 6) = 13.05, p < 0.01; post-hoc SSE15206 1 μM vs. DMSO **p < 0.01, SSE15206 2 μM vs. DMSO **p < 0.01).
