Article Title: Reactivation of P53 Antiproliferative and Pro-Apoptotic Pathways by Resveratrol in Mutant P53 Cancer Cell Lines
doi: 10.3390/ijms27104481
Figure Lengend Snippet: Resveratrol induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines with mutant or null p53 . ( A ) C33A, SK-BR-3, and Saos-2 cells were treated with vehicle (ethanol) or resveratrol at their respective IC50s for 48 h. Apoptosis was assessed by means of Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) double staining followed by flow cytometry analysis. Representative dot plots show viable cells in the lower left quadrant (Annexin V − /PI − ), early apoptotic cells in the lower right quadrant (Annexin V + /PI − ), and late apoptotic cells in the upper right quadrant (Annexin V + /PI + ). ( B ) Quantifications of total apoptotic cells (early + late apoptosis) are shown as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 versus EtOH. RES, resveratrol; EtOH, control with ethanol.
