Effects of Modified Melatonin Release on Human Colostrum Neutrophils to Induce Death in the MCF-7 Cell Line

Figure 2

Apoptosis and necrosis in coculture of PMN cells and MCF-7 cells after 72 hours of incubation. PMN: polymorphonuclear cells; MCF-7: human breast cancer cells; MLT: melatonin; MEL: microemulsion. Cells were stained with Annexin V/PI and analyzed by flow cytometry. In the dot plot, the lower-left (Q1) quadrant corresponds to a viable cell; the lower-right (Q2) and upper-right (Q3) quadrants represent the percentage of apoptosis, and the upper-left (Q4) quadrant is the percentage of necrosis. . Compared to apoptosis index of PMNs untreated with PMNs treated; #compared to necrosis index of PMNs treated with PMNs.
