Inclusion Complex of Zerumbone with Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Induces Apoptosis in Liver Hepatocellular HepG2 Cells via Caspase 8/BID Cleavage Switch and Modulating Bcl2/Bax Ratio
Figure 8
Quantitative analysis of ZER-HPβCD inclusion complex mediated apoptosis parameter. Changes in (a) total nuclear intensity, (b) cell permeability, (c) mitochondrial membrane potential, and (d) cytochrome c localization were all measured simultaneously in HepG2 treated cells. Treatment with ZER-HPβCD inclusion complex showing statistically significant cell loss (data not shown), increased total nuclear intensity, increased cell permeability, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and cytochrome c release from the mitochondria with good values. Each experiment was performed at least two times. a significant difference () compared with control.
