Decreased Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Content Contributes to Increased Survival in Human Colon Cancer
Figure 3
Percentage of the content of arachidonic acid and percentage of cells in apoptosis in human Caco-2 cells 48 hours after enrichment with arachidonic acid. Data are expressed in means SD of 4 experiments. For arachidonic acid and for apoptosis means with different letters are significantly different from one another (), as determined by variance analysis followed by post hoc Newman-Keuls test. For percentage of the content of arachidonic acid; diff: differentiated Caco-2 cells; undiff: undifferentiated Caco-2 cells; undiff + AA25: undifferentiated Caco-2 cells treated with 25M arachidonic acid; undiff + AA50: undifferentiated Caco-2 cells treated with 50M arachidonic acid; undiff + AA100: undifferentiated Caco-2 cells treated with 100M arachidonic acid. For percentage of cells in apoptosis: C: control cells; AA25: cells treated with 25M arachidonic acid; AA50: cells treated with 50M arachidonic acid; AA100: cells treated with 100M arachidonic acid; MK: cells treated with 2M MK886.
