Apoptosis Induction by Polygonum minus Is Related to Antioxidant Capacity, Alterations in Expression of Apoptotic-Related Genes, and S-Phase Cell Cycle Arrest in HepG2 Cell Line

Figure 2

Early apoptosis in HepG2 cells exposed to EtOAc crude extract of P. minus. HepG2 cells ( ) were incubated with EtOAc crude extract of P. minus (18–100 μg/mL) for different periods (24, 48, and 72 h) at 37°C. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry using annexin-V and FITC. Results are mean S.D. ( ). Values with different alphabets are significantly different ( , ANOVA and Bonferroni test).
