Synergistic properties of DBT extract. DBT (0.1 mg/mL), AR extract (0.1 mg/mL), ASR extract (0.1 mg/mL) were applied onto primary cultures for 2 days. The protein expressions of Bax (~ 21 kDa), Bcl2 (~ 27 kDa), cl-PARP (~ 85 kDa), cl-caspase 3 (~ 17 kDa) and cl-caspase 9 (~ 37 kDa) were detected by specific antibodies. Quantification of target protein expression was calculated by a densitometer. Values were expressed as the percentage of change as compared to control (untreated culture) reading, in Mean ± SEM, where n = 3. Statistically significant changes were classified as significant (*) where p < 0.05, more significant (**) where p < 0.01 and highly significant (***) where p < 0.001 as compared with control group
