Persea declinata (Bl.) Kosterm Bark Crude Extract Induces Apoptosis in MCF-7 Cells via G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest, Bcl-2/Bax/Bcl-xl Signaling Pathways, and ROS Generation

Figure 9

Induction of apoptosis by reducing the expression level of prosurvival molecules (Bcl-2, Bcl-xl) and increasing the expression of proapoptotic molecule (Bax). MCF-7 cells were treated with DMSO or different concentrations of PDM for 24 h. Western blot results showing the expression levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, and Bax in PDM or DMSO-treated MCF-7 cells. -Actin serves as a loading control.
