Variations of the apoptosis-related proteins in U937 cells after treatments by BL, HHT, and BL-HHT. The BL-treated group is incubated for 24 h after 2 h irradiation, the HHT group is incubated for 24 h without irradiation, and the BL-0.05 μg/mL HHT group is incubated for 24 h after 2 h irradiation. (a) The activity of caspase-3, (b) caspase-9 are measured using protein activity assay; (c) The cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved-PARP are determined via immunoblotting assay. β-Actin is used as a loading control. Bars of means ± SD are obtained from three independent cell culture experiments. * p < 0.05 vs. control group.
