Abstract | AIM: METHODS: The viability of the cells was assessed by MTT assay and the trypan blue dye exclusion method. Morphological changes were observed by fluorescence microscopy with Hoechst 33258 staining. Cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured by flow cytometry. Protein expression was detected by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
ANTMHspd could induce BEL-7402 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial/ caspase-dependent pathway and the Bcl-2 family was involved in the control of apoptosis.
