Fig. 7

9F7-F11 activates the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway by inducing caspase-8-mediated BID cleavage, BAX activation and BIM expression. BxPC3 (a), MDA-MB-468 and DU145 (b) cells were incubated with 9F7-F11 for various times. BID cleavage (tBID), BAX activation and BIM expression were analyzed by western blotting. Quantification of signal intensity (SI) with ImageJ software is indicated below the images. No protein expression was measured as 0.0 ± .0. Significant decrease or increase of the densitometry, compared to untreated control, is indicated in bold. β-tubulin was evaluated as loading control
