Esculetin Neutralises Cytotoxicity of t-BHP but Not of H₂O₂ on Human Leukaemia NB4 Cells

Figure 3

Apoptosis and necrosis of NB4 cells treated with esculetin and H₂O₂. Cells (5 × 10⁵/ml) were treated with 100 M esculetin, 1 mM H₂O₂, or the combination of both, for the indicated times. Cells were then stained with FITC-conjugated annexin and PI and measured by flow cytometry. The results show one representative experiment out of three. Vertical axes: propidium iodide intensity (log scale); horizontal axes: annexin-FITC intensity (log scale).
