Stattic Enhances Radiosensitivity and Reduces Radio-Induced Migration and Invasion in HCC Cell Lines through an Apoptosis Pathway

Figure 6

Stattic promotes radio-induced apoptosis in HCC cell lines. HCC cells were plated in 6-well plates, treated with stattic or DMSO for 4 h and irradiated with 8 Gy using a linear accelerator, and then placed in the incubator to culture for 24 h. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was examined by western bolt analysis. (a) The western blot images of Bcl-2 and Bax expression; (b) the relative expression of Bcl-2, ; (c) the relative expression of Bax. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in control group was taken as 100. versus control group, versus irradiation group. Each experiment was performed at least three times.
