Article Title: Tetrandrine (TET) Induces Death Receptors: Apo Trail R1 (DR4) and Apo Trail R2 (DR5) and Sensitizes Prostate Cancer Cells to TRAIL Induced Apoptosis
doi: 10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-17-1157
Figure Lengend Snippet: A&B. Western blot analysis showing the effect of TET, TRAIL and combination effect of TET with TRAIL on cleaved caspases (caspase-8 and 3) in scrl (Fig. 4A) and DK cells (Fig. 4B). Different concentrations of TET (10–20µM) and TRAIL (80ng/ml) and combinations of TET and TRAIL were used for 24h and 48h. C&D. Apoptosis assay showing the effect of TET, TRAIL and combination treatment of TET and TRAIL on cell death in LNCaP scrl (Fig. 4C) and DK cells (Fig. 4D) at 48h. E. Representative graph showing the percent live and apoptotic scrl and DK cells after TET, TRAIL and combination treatment of TET and TRAIL at 48h. Averages are representative of 3 independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviation. *p value <0.05; **p value <0.01; ***p value <0.001, ****p value <0.0001.
