Results of caspase activity and ROS levels detection assay in HeLaS3 and MDR KB/VIN cells. HeLaS3 and KB/VIN cells were treated with or without danazol for 72 hours. The activities of caspase-8 (a) and caspase-9 (b) were evaluated by Cell Meter™ Caspase Activity Apoptosis Assay Kits. Danazol activated caspase-8 in KB/VIN cells while the level remained the same in HeLaS3 cells compared with respective control group. (c) The treatment of danazol increased the ROS level in both HeLaS3 and KB/VIN cell lines. Menadione, a ROS inducer, was used as a positive control. Statistical differences were evaluated by the ANOVA followed post hoc analysis (Tukey’s test). * indicates p value < 0.05 compared with control group. Data presented as mean ± SE of at least two experiments, each in duplicate.
