From: SapC-DOPS nanovesicles induce Smac- and Bax-dependent apoptosis through mitochondrial activation in neuroblastomas

Figure 5

Apoptotic redistribution of Smac and Cyto c is independent of ROS formation, Cyclophilin D activity and Ca 2+ . A) Effect of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)-mediated ROS inhibition on viability of SK-N-SH cells following SapC-DOPS treatment. B) Effect of pretreatment with 2 mM N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) following SapC-DOPS (50 μM) treatment on Smac and Cyto c relocation in SK-N-SH cells. C) Effect of 1 μM cyclosporine A (CsA)-pretreatment on Smac and Cyto c relocation following SapC-DOPS (50 μM) treatment in SK-N-SH cells. D) Flow cytometric measurement of Ca2+ using Fluo-3 AM in SK-N-SH cells treated with 50 μM SapC-DOPS. Values represent geometric mean of fluorescence. Points, mean of three to five experiments; bars, SE. Western blots are representative of three independent experiments.
