Article Title: Decursin induces apoptosis in glioblastoma cells, but not in glial cells via a mitochondria-related caspase pathway
doi: 10.4196/kjpp.2019.23.1.29
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) U87 cells were treated with 50 µM of decursin for various periods of time (0, 0.5, 1, 3 and 4 h). The cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis for phospho-JNK, total-JNK, phospho-p38 and total p38. (B) U87 cells were treated with 50 or 100 µM of decursin for 24 h. The cell lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis for Bax and Bcl-2 (C), cleaved caspase-3, 7, 9, PARP-1 and β-actin. Values are mean±SD (n=3). * p<0.05 vs. control. ** p<0.01 vs. control.
Article Snippet: Caspase apoptosis dependency was analyzed using 50 μM of pan caspase inhibitor (Cas I), p38 inhibitor (SB203580) and JNK inhibitor (SP600125) which were acquired from Calbiochem (EMD Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany).
Techniques: Western Blot, Control
