ROS-Mediated Mitochondrial Pathway is Required for Manilkara Zapota (L.) P. Royen Leaf Methanol Extract Inducing Apoptosis in the Modulation of Caspase Activation and EGFR/NF-κB Activities of HeLa Human Cervical Cancer Cells

Figure 3

Close-up view of morphological changes in HeLa cells after treatment with Manilkara zapota leaf methanol extract at 12, 24, and 48 μg/mL of Manilkara zapota leaf methanol extract for 24, 48, and 72 h and observed under an inverted light microscope (Magnification 400×). The cells showed the typical characteristics of apoptosis such as cellular shrinkage (CS), apoptotic bodies (AB), nuclear fragmentation (NF), nuclear compaction (NC), and membrane blebbing (MB).
