Figure 5
Effect of germacrone on key apoptotic proteins in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway of ESCC cells. (a)–(h) Western blot analysis of the relative expressions of cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9, PARP, cleaved PARP, Bax and Bcl-2, and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 in Eca109 and EC9706 cells treated with germacrone for 24 h. Data were presented as means ± SD (n = 3). , vs. control (0 μg/mL) group.
