Fig. 4From: Fermented So-Cheong-Ryong-Tang (FCY) induces apoptosis via the activation of caspases and the regulation of MAPK signaling pathways in cancer cellsEffects of FCY on cell cycle progression in AGS cells. a The cells were treated with 500 or 1000 μg/mL of FCY for 48 h, fixed with pre-chilled 70 % ethanol, stained with propidium iodide solution and then subjected to flow cytometry for determination of cell cycle distribution. b The levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins in cells treated with FCY for 24 h were examined by Western blot analyses. c After incubation with 500 or 1000 μg/mL FCY, apoptosis was assessed using YO-PRO-1 staining by flow cytometry. The percentage of the M2 population depicts apoptosis, which increased in conjunction with the dose. The data are representative of three independent experimentsBack to article page
