Growth inhibition and apoptosis induction by alternol in pancreatic carcinoma cells

Figure 5 Decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential by alternol treatment in pancreatic cancer cells. MMP was assessed by measuring fluorescence intensity of a membrane-potential-dependent dye JC-1 with flow cytometry. PANC-1 and BxPC3 cells were treated with 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 μmol/L alternol for 24 h. Data are means ± SE of three independent experiments. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs controls, significantly different by Student’s t-test.
