Thapsigargin Induces Apoptosis by Impairing Cytoskeleton Dynamics in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells

Figure 1

Thapsigargin induces cell apoptosis in A549 cells. (a) Hoechst staining (blue) showing the increasing of apoptotic A549 cells by thapsigargin (1 nM, 100 nM, and 1 μM) treatment for 6 and 24 h (white arrows). (b) Histograms showing the quantification of the cell death (%) in A549 cells after thapsigargin treatment. Results are averages of three independent experiments. Data represent mean ± SEM. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, and ***𝑃<0.001.
