Pretreatment with nocodazole enhance IH, GN and Aca-induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were pretreated with 100 ng/ml nocodazole for 12 h, followed by treatment with or without 30 μM IH, 20 μM GN and 100 μM Aca for 24 h. (A,B) Cells were stained with cell cycle staining solution and analyzed using a flow cytometer. The percentage of cells in each phase is showed as mean ± S.D. for three independent experiments (n.sP > 0.05, *P < 0.05 or **P < 0.01). (C,D) Cells were stained with Annexin V/PI, and the percentage of apoptotic cells were determined using flow cytometry. Data was showed as mean ± S.D (**P < 0.01) for three independent experiments. (E) Cell lysates were prepared and analyzed by western blotting using antibodies against PARP1, pro-caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase 3 (C-Caspase 3).
