Figure 1

Pro-caspase 8 and 9 levels following treatment of PC3 cells with 75 μ M DIM for 8–72 h. Cells were treated with DIM and their total protein fraction was extracted, separated on SDS–PAGE and exposed to specific antibodies using Western blotting, as described in ‘Materials and methods’. (A) Western blotting results. C* denotes a representative control group. The figures shown are representatives of three independent experiments. (B) Densitometer results. Data presented are averages of three independent experiments (±s.e.) and are expressed as percentages of the respective controls. **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
