Figure Lengend Snippet: FSA alters apoptosis protein profiles in SK-OV-3 and OVCAR-3 cells. Expression of BAX, BID, CASP3, CYCS, and BCL2 was determined by Western blot following 48-h treatment with control or FSA. β-actin served as a loading control. (A) Representative Western blot images for BAX, BID, CASP3, CYCS, BCL2, and β-actin in SK-OV-3 cells (NC and FSA). (B) Bar graph analysis of protein expression levels relative to β-actin in SK-OV-3 cells. (C) Representative Western blot images for BAX, BID, CASP3, CYCS, BCL2, and β-actin in OVCAR-3 cells (NC and FSA). (D) Bar graph analysis of protein expression levels relative to β-actin in OVCAR-3 cells. Data represent mean ± standard deviation from three independent experiments (n=3). Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t -test. Statistical significance markers: *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001; ****, P<0.0001. FSA, forsythiaside A; NC, negative control.
