NSCLC apoptosis induced by activated suicide gene therapy vector. H1299 (A and B), A549 (C) or H23 (D) cells were transfected with control vector (pTarget) or suicide gene therapy vector (pE9NS.G45α). At 24 hrs after transfection, the cells were exposed to 3 µM of cisplatin, 25 µM of resveratrol or 5 Gy of radiation. After 2 days, the cells were subjected to Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and analyzed by flow cytometry, or the protein lysis was collected for western blot analysis (E). Percentage of apoptotic cells is the sum of percentages of early- and late-phase apoptotic cells and is presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistics was performed by t-test with Welch’s correction to compare pTarget- and pE9NS.G45α-transfected samples after same stimulation (eg, pTarget+cisplatin vs pE9NS.G45α+cisplatin), * p<0.05; ** p<0.01.
