Pseudolaric Acid B Induces Caspase-Dependent and Caspase-Independent Apoptosis in U87 Glioblastoma Cells

Figure 5

Flow cytometry analysis of cell cycle in U87 glioblastoma cells. (a) U87 glioblastoma cells were treated with DMSO or PLAB (5 and 10 μM) in the presence or absence of z-VAD-fmk (20 μM) for 24 h. Cells were collected, washed with PBS, and stained with a solution containing 50 μg/mL PI and 100 μg/mL RNase A for 30 min in the dark, at room temperature. Finally, samples were analyzed by flow cytometry for cell cycle phase distribution. (b) Data are expressed as Mean ± SEM ( ). Columns not sharing the same superscript letter differ significantly ( ).
