Decreased Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Content Contributes to Increased Survival in Human Colon Cancer

Figure 5

Protein content of Bcl-2, Bak, and caspase 3 in Caco-2 cells 48 hours after enrichment with arachidonic acid. Data are expressed in means SD of 4 experiments. Means with different letters are significantly different from one another ( ), as determined by variance analysis followed by post hoc Newman-Keuls test. The densitometry values, referred to as the corresponding -actin value, were compared with those of control cells, taken as 1. C: control cells; AA25: cells treated with 25  M arachidonic acid; AA50: cells treated with 50  M arachidonic acid; MK: cells treated with 2  M MK886.
