The Impact of Curcumin on the Inflammatory Profile of SW982 Cells in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Model

Figure 2

(a) Graphical presentation of representative data from flow cytometric analysis of apoptosis after 24 h cell incubation with curcumin (10 μM) and cytokines (50 ng/ml). -axis: intensity of FITC-A fluorescence. -axis: intensity of 7-AAD fluorescence. Dot plots present alive cells: lower left; early apoptotic cells: lower right; late apoptotic cells: upper right; and dead cells: upper left. After treatment, the cells were stained using Annexin-FITC/7-AAD Kit and were measured by flow cytometry. (b) Bars represent the percentage of total apoptotic cells (early+late apoptosis) in cytokine-stimulated cells and control cells.
