Fig. 3From: Fermented So-Cheong-Ryong-Tang (FCY) induces apoptosis via the activation of caspases and the regulation of MAPK signaling pathways in cancer cellsInduction of apoptosis by FCY in AGS cells. a Effects of FCY on the expressions of caspase-3, −8, and −9, and PARP cleavage. The cells were exposed to 500 and 1000 μg/mL FCY for 24 and 48 h and protein levels were determined by Western blot analyses. The band intensity was calculated and compared to untreated cells using ImageJ after normalization relative to GAPDH expression. b The relative luminescence indicated the dose-dependent activations of caspase-3/7, −8, and −9 that were induced by 48 h of treatment with the indicated dose of FCY. The data are shown as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus untreated control cellsBack to article page
