Comparative Study of Antiproliferative Activity in Different Plant Parts of Phaleria macrocarpa and the Underlying Mechanism of Action

Figure 3

Ethanol extract of P. macrocarpa leaves triggered more apoptosis of T47D cells. (a) Dot plot diagrams showed the percentage of T47D cell populations in different stages (necrosis, early apoptosis, late apoptosis, and live cells) after being treated with IC50 value of each part of P. macrocarpa extract for 24 and 48 h and evaluated by annexin V-FITC/PI and flow cytometry analysis. (b) The representative bar showed the percentage of cells undergoing apoptosis. The value was expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). The different subsets indicated statistical differences (). Necrotic cells (upper left quadrant: annexin VPI+); late apoptotic (upper right quadrant: annexin V+PI+); early apoptotic (lower right quadrant: annexin V+PI); and live cells (lower left quadrant: annexin VPI).
