Isorhamnetin Induces Melanoma Cell Apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt and NF-κB Pathways

Figure 3

Effect of isorhamnetin on B16F10 cell apoptosis. (a) B16F10 cells were pretreated with 0-100 μmol/L IH for 24 h and then resuspended in binding buffer containing Annexin V and PI. Cell suspension was analyzed by FACSAria II, which indicated cell apoptosis induced by IH dose-dependently. (b) Representative images of DAPI staining and Tunel assay conducted to analyze B16F10 cell apoptosis. (200x) (c) The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and Caspase-3 were analyzed by Western blotting with specific antibodies. The levels of Bax and Caspase-3 were upregulated, and Bcl-2 was downregulated after treatment with 100 μmol/L IH. The anti-β-actin antibody was used to check the proper protein loading. Each experiment was repeated at least three times. compared with control; compared with control; compared with control.
