Aberrant methylation of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine gene and its significance in gastric cancer

Figure 8 Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine induces apoptosis in BGC-823. For flow cytometric analysis, cells were stained with annexin V fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide. Values in histogram show increasing secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) expression increased apoptosis in BGC-823 compared with negative control. A: Blank control group; B: Negative control group; C: Positive control group. Data are presented as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
