DMOG and DFO treatment effects on the cell viability or apoptosis in the cells. (a) Bar diagram showing the cell viability assay (MTT assay) in the HSG cells and (b) SHSY-5Y cells pretreated with 1 mM of both DFO and DMOG. Each bar gives the mean±S.E.M. of four separate experiments. NS indicates no significance. (c) Western blot images showing the expression of caspase 3 in SHSY-5Y and HSG cells pretreated with 1 mM DMOG and 1 mM DFO or in serum-free media for 24 h. (d) Bar diagram representing the densitometric reading of the caspase 3 expression in the above-mentioned western blots. Each bar gives the mean±S.E.M. of four separate experiments. NS indicates no significance
