Tricholoma matsutake Aqueous Extract Induces Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Apoptosis via Caspase-Dependent Mitochondrial Pathway
Figure 3
TM caused apoptotic alternations in mitochondrial function. (a) TM caused intracellular ROS accumulation in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells analyzing via DCFH-DA staining after 6 h incubation (20x; scale bar: 100 μm) (). (b) TM induced MMP dissipation detecting by JC-1 staining after 6 h incubation (20x; scale bar: 100 μm) (). (c) 24 h TM exposure enhanced the expressions of cleaved-PARP, Bax, and Bad and suppressed the levels of Bcl-2. Quantification data of protein expressions were normalized by corresponding GAPDH and the average fold of band intensity was marked, respectively ().
