Procaspase-3, procaspase-8, and procaspase-9 expression. (a) Western blotting of procaspase-3, procaspase-8, and procaspase-9; (b) histogram of procaspase-3 expression; (c) histogram of procaspase-8 expression; (d) histogram of procaspase-9 expression. Control: AGS cells treated with saline; 5-Fu: AGS cells treated with 0.5 μg/mL 5-Fu; TRAIL: AGS cells treated with 2 μg/mL TRAIL; combined: AGS cells treated with 0.5 μg/mL 5-Fu and 2 μg/mL TRAIL. ^#𝑃<0.01 compared with control group. ^▲𝑃<0.05 compared with 5-Fu group.
