Persea declinata (Bl.) Kosterm Bark Crude Extract Induces Apoptosis in MCF-7 Cells via G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest, Bcl-2/Bax/Bcl-xl Signaling Pathways, and ROS Generation

Figure 5

(a) Representative images of MCF-7 cells treated with DMEM, doxorubicin, or PDM for 24 h and stained with Hoechst 33342 for nuclear, membrane permeability, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) dyes. PDM induced a noteworthy elevation in membrane permeability and a marked reduction in MMP (magnification: 200x). (b) Representative bar charts indicating dose-dependent increased cell permeability and reduced MMP in the PDM-treated MCF-7 cells.
