Apoptosis assay. MIA PaCa-2 cells were treated with DMSO as a negative control and coumarin complexes C1 and C2. 24 h upon treatment, cells were collected, and Annexin V-FITC assay was performed. The percentage of cells in each quadrant is presented as the (standard error mean) of at least three independent experiments. Mean values were compared with Student’s -test, and values that were evaluated to DMSO treatment are presented as , , and . Each color corresponds to a bar presented on the histogram. Q1: necrotic cells; Q2: late apoptosis; Q3: living cells; Q4: early apoptosis.
