In Vitro Morphological Assessment of Apoptosis Induced by Antiproliferative Constituents from the Rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria

Figure 6

Flow cytometric analysis of apoptotic and nonapoptotic populations for active caspase-3 in (a) MCF-7, (c) Ca Ski, and (e) HCT-116. Histograms show untreated (control) cells were primarily negative for the presence of active caspase-3; whereas treated cells with curzerenone and alismol were positive for active caspase-3 (right panel). Bar chart (b, d, f) indicates caspase-3 activation as fold increase compared to control. Values were mean ± S.D from at least three independent experiments. The asterisk represented significantly different value from control ( ).
