Article Title: Luteolin induces apoptosis by impairing mitochondrial function and targeting the intrinsic apoptosis pathway in gastric cancer cells
doi: 10.3892/ol.2023.13913
Figure Lengend Snippet: ROS accumulation in HGC-27 and MFC cells is induced by luteolin. The fluorescence intensity of (A) HGC-27 cells and (B) MFC cells were visualized under a fluorescence inverted microscope (magnification, ×100). Luteolin-induced ROS levels were detected using DCFH-DA staining and flow cytometry in (C) HGC-27 cells and (E) MFC cells. The quantitative analysis of ROS levels in (D) HGC-27 cells and (F) MFC cells was showed on the histogram. (G) SOD activity was assessed in HGC-27 and MFC cells using a microplate reader at an absorbance of 560 nm. Experiments were repeated at least in triplicate. Data were presented as mean ± SD. **P<0.01 vs. DMSO group. ROS, reactive oxygen species; SOD, superoxide dismutase; HGC-27, human gastric cancer HGC-27 cell line; MFC, mouse forestomach carcinoma cell line.
Article Snippet: After incubation at 37°C for 60 min in the dark, the absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm was detected using a Thermo 3001 multi-function microplate reader (Infinite 200 PRO, Tecan Austria GmbH, Salzburg, Austria).
