Figure 2. Nuclear condensation of
apoptotic human retinoblastoma (Y79) cells was detected with
4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) labeling. Gossypol-treated
Y79 cells containing condensed nuclei were counted under a
fluorescence microscope. Panel A shows the percentages
of condensed-nucleus (apoptotic) cells. Data are represented as
the mean±SEM n=14, and * p<0.05, compared to the control
group. The remaining figures showing microimages show apoptotic
(arrows) and normal cells in (B) control and in (C)
1 μM, (D) 10 μM, and (E) 20 μM gossypol
treatments. Scale bar is 50 μm.
