PTEN Reduced UVB-Mediated Apoptosis in Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells

Figure 1

UVB irradiation induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased apoptosis. RPE cells were exposed to 0, 30, 60, and 90 mJ/cm2 of UVB (305 nm) and then incubated for 24 h. (a) Intracellular ROS was determined by flow cytometry. (b) Bar graphs represent the percentage of RPE cells in control or UVB treatment group. (c) The untreated group was regarded as the control group. The percentage of live and apoptosis positive cells was showed. (d) Bar graphs represent the percentage of RPE cells in control or UVB treatment group (, t test, , bars represent SD).
