Apoptotic pathway investigated using immunocytochemistry after treatment with chemotherapeutics alone and combined with carbon ion irradiation at different doses. Double immunofluorescence detection of poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP-1, red fluorescence) and α-tubulin (green fluorescence) in the controls, differently treated U251 cells, i.e., after 48-h continuous treatment (CT) with 40 μM cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum (CDDP) or 10 μM (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichlorido(2-(2-propynyl)octanoato)platinum(IV) [Pt(IV)Ac-POA], and in combined exposure conditions [40 μM CDDP or 10 μM Pt(IV)Ac-POA 48-h CT + 2 or 4 Gy carbon ion radiation]. DNA counterstaining with Hoechst 33258 (blue fluorescence). Scale bar, 20 μm.
