Figure Lengend Snippet: The secretion of testosterone ( a , b ), estradiol ( c , d ), and progesterone ( e , f ) after 48 h of exposure to AOH and DHEA, evaluated by ELISA tests in PC3 and PNT1A cells. Results are presented as mean ± SE. One-way ANOVA was used to perform statistical analysis of the results, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. AOH—alternariol, DHEA—dehydroepiandrosterone, Cnt—control.

Article Snippet: The normal human prostate epithelial cell line PNT1A and the prostate adenocarcinoma cell line PC3 were obtained from the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and maintained in a humidified incubator (37 °C, 5% CO 2 ).

Techniques: Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, Control

Figure Lengend Snippet: AOH, DHEA, as well as co-treatment induce apoptosis after 48 h of exposure in PC3 and PNT1A cells ( a ). Analysis of apoptotic cells based on flow cytometry with representative results ( b ). One-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis. Results are presented and mean ± SE. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, as compared to the control. Representative results of Western blot analysis of CASP3 ( c ). Analysis of the relative expression of ANX5a ( d ) and TP53 genes in normal and prostate cancer cell lines ( e ). AOH—alternariol, DHEA—dehydroepiandrosterone, Cnt—control, Casp3—caspase 3.
