Figure 9

CPP32 is the major pathway in genistein-induced apoptosis in PC3 cells. PC3 cells (2.5 × 103 cells/well) were cultured in 48-well culture plates; treated with/without 100 μM caspase inhibitor (zVAD-fmk) for 2 hr; then with 1–8 μM β-Lapachone (bLap) for 4 hr as described in the methods. Cells were then analyzed for caspase (CPP32) activity and corresponding apoptosis. Data pointsare the means ± SEM of two independent experiments performed in triplicates
