Activations of Both Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways in HCT 116 Human Colorectal Cancer Cells Contribute to Apoptosis through p53-Mediated ATM/Fas Signaling by Emilia sonchifolia Extract, a Folklore Medicinal Plant
Figure 4
ESE altered the protein abundance-associated with mitochondria- and death-receptor-dependent apoptotic signaling in HCT 116 cells. Cells were treated with ESE (50 μg/mL) for 0, 6, 12, 24 h, and total protein, cytosolic, and mitochondrial lysates were prepared and subjected to Western blotting analysis. The membranes were incubated with (a) anti-Bcl-2, anti-Bax, anti-Bid and anti-PUMA antibodies; (b) anti-Fas, anti-FasL, anti-DR4 and anti-DR5 antibodies; (c) anticytochrome c antibody. The blot was also probed with anti-Actin and anti-Complex V antibodies to confirm equal loading of samples. Each band was quantified using ImageJ software.
