Effect of SB77 on HTM cell viability by MTT assay. (A) HTM cells treated with SB77 showed more than 85% (Mean percentage viability: 87.8 ± 5.9) cell viability at the studied concentrations (0.1–100 µM). The values are represented as mean ± SD. Experiments were conducted in triplicate. (B) Terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase (TdT) - mediated fluroscein-16-dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) staining on HTM cells after treatment with DNAse I (i), vehicle control (ii), SB77 (iii) and Y27632 (iv) for 24 h. TUNEL positive cells (green) were detected only in HTM cells treated with DNase I (i) (Positive control). No TUNEL positive cells were detected in other treatment groups. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). A detailed protocol for MTT and TUNEL assay was given in method section.
