The effects of Se-enriched Cordyceps militaris on the expressions of BAX and BCL-2.
Notes: (A) The mRNA expression level of BAX and BCL-2 were detected by qPCR assay in NCI-H292 cells treated with Se-enriched Cordyceps militaris at varied concentrations (0, 4, 8, and 12 mg/mL) (B) and in A549 cells treated with Se-enriched Cordyceps militaris at varied concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/mL). (C) The protein expression level of BAX and BCL-2 were detected by Western blot assay in NCI-H292 cells treated with Se-enriched Cordyceps militaris at varied concentrations (0, 4, 8, and 12 mg/mL) (D) and in A549 cells treated with Se-enriched Cordyceps militaris at varied concentrations (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/mL). *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
Abbreviations: Se, selenium; qPCR, quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
