Figure 4From: In vitro and in vivo evaluation of NCX 4040 cytotoxic activity in human colon cancer cell lines(A) Percentage of apoptosis in LoVo cells after exposure times of 4, 8 12, 16, 20 and 24 h to 10 μM of NCX 4040. (B) Apoptosis in LoVo cells after a 24-h exposure as evidenced by in situ TUNEL assay. (C) Apoptosis in LoVo cells after a 24-h exposure as evidenced by DAPI staining. (D) Inhibition of NCX 4040-induced apoptosis in LoVo cells after a 24-h simultaneous exposure to the NO-NSAID and the caspase-9 inhibitor, as evidenced by TUNEL assay.Back to article page
