Pers induces mitochondrial mediated apoptosis in lung carcinoma cellsWestern blot analysis of whole cell protein lysate of A549 cells treated with chalepin at concentration of (36 μg/ml) at 2,4,8,12, and 24 h. a Cleavage of PARP and upregulation of p53 tumor supressor factor, induced by chalepin.b Chalepin (36 μg/ml) inhibits anti-apoptotic gene products. c Chalepin induces Bax and bak expression and cytochrome c release. d Chalepin activates cleavage of procaspase 9 and procaspase 3Back to article page
