Kurarinone dose-dependently provoked A549 cell apoptosis in vitro. (A) A549 cells were treated with 0, 5, 10 μg/mL of kurarinone and 25 μg/mL of CDDP for 24 h, after which the cells were photographed under a phase contrast microscope. Then, the cells were fixed and incubated with Hoechst 33258 for 30 min, after which the cells were photographed under a fluorescence microscope. (B) Cell cycle distribution was observed by FACS. The result showed that kurarinone induced cell death in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. (C) The data are shown as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. P < 0.05 compared to control, ∗∗P < 0.01 compared to control, ∗∗∗P < 0.001, compared to control.
