Fig. 3From: Raltitrexed increases radiation sensitivity of esophageal squamous carcinoma cellsRaltitrexed (Ral) increased cell apoptosis in esophageal squamous cancer cells. The percentages of apoptosis cells were measured by flow cytometry after Ral (4 nM) treatment, irradiation (IR, 8 Gy, 24 h or 48 h) or combination of IR (8 Gy, 24 h or 48 h) + Ral (4 nM) in TE-13 (a, c) and Kyse150 (b, d) cell lines. Expression of apoptosis related proteins after different treatments was studied in TE-13 and Kyse150 (e). *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
