Figure 5

Hemerocallis citrina Baroni ethyl acetate fraction (HCEA) prevents t-BHP-induced apoptosis. (a) DAPI staining observed under a fluorescence microscope at 40× magnification. (b) Quantification of BRL-3A apoptotic cells using a flow cytometer with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. (c) qRT-PCR analysis of expression of apoptosis-related genes. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (). DAPI: 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; qRT-PCR: quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction; FITC: fluorescein isothiocyanate; PI: propidium iodide.
