Induction of Apoptosis in HeLa Cells by a Novel Peptide from Fruiting Bodies of Morchella importuna via the Mitochondrial Apoptotic Pathway

Figure 8

Effect of MIPP on the mRNA and protein levels of Bax and Bcl-2 in HeLa cells. (a) The mRNA levels of Bax and Bcl-2 were measured by real-time PCR. (b) Bax and Bcl-2 protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. (c) The protein intensities of relative protein level were quantified from (b). GAPDH was selected as the internal control and the ratio represents the expression level compared with GAPDH (%). The bar represents the means ± SD. Values with the same style bars with different superscript letters are significantly different from each other at . n = 3. See Figures S4-S5 in the Supplementary Materials for original images.
