The percentage of apoptotic cells was obtained by FACS analysis of cells labeled with annexin V-FITC and PI and after subtraction of the percentage of dead cells in negative controls (samples cultured in the same conditions but without the apoptotic inducers) from the percentages of dead cells obtained after treatments. The data shown represent the average values (±SD) from 3 independent experiments.
