Apoptosis detection in breast cancer cells induced by myristoyl-CM4. (A) After treatment by myristoyl-CM4 (4 μM for MCF-7, 6 μM for MDA-MB-231, 3 μM for MX-1) for 16 h, cells were stained by Hoechst 33342/PI and then observed by fluorescence microscopy. (B) Cells were stained by Annexin V/PI and then analyzed by flow cytometry. (C) Lysates were harvested and the apoptotic proteins (cytochrome c, caspase 9, caspase 3, and PARP) were detected by western blotting. (D) The relative amounts of cytochrome c, procaspase 3 and cleaved PARP versus GAPDH were determined by western blotting results and Image J densitometric analysis.
