Besides, cytotoxicity on human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3) was evaluated using MTT assay, cell cycle arrest analysis, annexin V/propidium iodide apoptosis assay and ELISA immunoassay for apoptotic enzyme.
MTT assay and flow cytometry of Annexin V/propidium iodide staining were used to confirm the proapoptotic efficacy of a novel combi-targeting molecule, JDF12, against DU145 prostate cancer (PCa) cells.
Treatment of human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP and PC-3) with UA inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis in both cell lines as characterized by the increased Annexin V-binding.
