Apoptotic pathway induced by diallyl trisulfide in pancreatic cancer cells

Figure 2 Diallyl trisulfide induces apoptosis of Capan-2 cells and H6C7 cells. A: Capan-2 cells were exposed to different concentrations of diallyl trisulfide (DATS) and the percentage of viable cells was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Capan-2 and H6C7 cells were exposed to 100 μmol/L DATS for 24 h. Cells without DATS treatment were used as controls. Living cells was detected by MTT assay. Data points = mean ± SD of quadruplicate values for each independent experiment; B: The percentage survival of Capan-2 and H6C7 cells was significantly different (^aP < 0.05); C: ELISA was used to determine apoptotic cells. Each condition was performed in quadruplicate. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
