Figure 6From: Sensitization of cervix cancer cells to Adriamycin by Pentoxifylline induces an increase in apoptosis and decrease senescenceDetermination of IκBαin HeLa, SiHa and HaCaT cells after in vitro treatment with Pentoxifylline (PTX) or Adriamycin (ADR) either alone or in combination. Cell cultures were treated with PTX (8 mM) or ADR (1 μM) or PTX + ADR, 24 hours later the cells were harvested, protein was extracted and IκBα was determined by ELISA assays. The results show pg/mL of IκBα and represent the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments carrier out in triplicate. Statistical analysis Student "t" test. (*) p < 0.005 vs untreated control cells (CT). (•) p < 0.005 vs ADR.Back to article page
