15d-PGJ2 inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis of MCG-803 human gastric cancer cell line

Table 1 TUNEL assay performed using apoptosis detection system

15d-PGJ2 (µM)	Control	10	30
Percentage of TUNEL-positive cells	13.7% ± 1.5%	34.9% ± 2.7%bp	48.3% ± 2.9%bp

15dPGJ₂ (0, 10, 30 µM) was added to the culture medium for 48 h. The percentage of TUNEL-positive cells was determined. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 compared with respective controls. The value is represented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). ^bP < 0.01 versus correspond-ing control groups.
