qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses of U251 cells after different treatments.
Notes: (A) The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses to evaluate the relative mRNA levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 in U251 cells with various treatments and (C) β-actin was used as an internal control to normalize the data. (B) Western blot analyses to evaluate the protein levels of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 in U251 cells of different treatment groups, and (D) β-actin was used as an internal control to normalize the data.
