    Figure Lengend Snippet: Combination treatment with BA and TRAIL increases apoptosis in T24 human bladder cancer cells in an ROS-dependent manner. T24 cells were pretreated with N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) 1 h before combination treatment with BA and TRAIL and cultured for 24 h. (A, B) Total protein was extracted and analyzed via immunoblotting using antibodies against target proteins. β-actin was used as a loading control. (C) Caspase-3 activity was measured using a caspase-3 assay kit. (D, E) After DAPI staining, nuclear morphological changes were observed under a fluorescence microscope (D), and the frequency of cells with chromatin condensation and fragmentation was determined (E). (F, G) Flow cytometry was performed after PI staining. Representative histograms (F) and the frequency of cells in the sub-G1 phase (G) are shown. (H) Cell viability was assessed via MTT assay. *** p <0.001 vs. control cells; ### p <0.001 vs. BA and TRAIL co-treated cells (n=3).

    Schematic diagram of cytotoxicity induction in betulinic acid and TRAIL co-treated T24 human bladder cancer cells. TRAIL, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand; PI3K, phosphoinositide 3-kinase; NAC, N-acetyl-l-cysteine; MMP, mitochondrial membrane potential; FADD, Fas-associated death domain; tBid, truncation of BH3-interacting domain death agonist; PARP, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase.
