Mannose increases the cisplatin-mediated apoptosis of NSCLC cells in vitro. (A) CCK-8 cell viability assays were conducted to determine the IC50 of cisplatin against A549 and H1299 cells at 24 h. (B) Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate the effects of mannose, cisplatin, or a combination of cisplatin and mannose on the apoptosis of NSCLC cells in vitro. Early apoptotic cells are represented in the bottom right field (Annexin V+/PI-). Late apoptotic cells are represented in the top right field (Annexin V+/PI+). (C and D) Western blotting was conducted to evaluate the effects of mannose, cisplatin, or a combination of cisplatin and mannose on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, including cleaved caspase-3, Bax and Bcl-2. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; ctrl, control; PI, propidium iodide.
